    Focus on angles and consider changing your blade every three days for a bit. It will keep the blade consistent and prevent you from adjusting your technique (angle and pressure) to accommodate a dying blade. And never chase...:happy088:

    He's right though, had my Dad not been an Army officer, I likely would have grown up in Paulding, Coweta or Gwinnett, all counties near Atlanta.

    Alabama ties look like this:

    August 25 Shave 15

    I took the razor back through the pasted stops and that seemed to make a difference. Three passes with the SR and just one small nick to do operator error then I finished up with my Joris DE. My face looked a little red but when I applied the alum just a little twinge. Good news the amount of irritation was very light, still not where I want it be but better than the last 2 shaves. Finished with DFS, just short of BBS.

    I did get a compliment on the Italian Cypress today.
