  3. Thanks for the warm welcome! My name is Daniel.

    I'm occasionally getting irritation with areas where hair grows in multiple directions. I'm not aiming for BBS, but i guess i'm still buffing too much and possibly using too much pressure.

  8. My issue with buffing (what I did wrong)

    I did short hard fast strokes when short light slow strokes is the way.

    My soap was to thin, if I make a pass with the razor and there's no slickness afterwards, that will cause issues.

    Always make sure to re-lather before another pass. Even if I have a little tiny spot that I missed, at minimum I take a finger of lather to that area before the razor touches it.

    Ride the cap, I noticed That I pulled the handle down, instead of up when buffing.

    Hope this helps.

  11. Very solid build. I have a big scuttle from her too. The closest I will come to bowl lathering .

    I live in an apartment...do the math.

    As long as just loading the brush to face lather...

  17. Thanks for the advise! I think my lathers have improved a lot after i switched to face lathering. I lather between passes (WTG&XTG), on the second pass my lather is thinner but possibly slightly slicker.

    Next time i'll squeeze the leftover lather to my hand and dab that to my face if i need to do some touch ups.

    I'm actually riding the cap, but i'm going to pay even more attention to the angle.

    I might have had a bit less irritation with carbon steel blades, but i'm not 100% sure about that.
