SHAVE #3
Kai Mild blade(3)
I made a point before I started to slow down and remember to strech my skin as best as I could-GO SLOW I told myself and no pressure and very shallow angle.Also I made a wetter lather with Spieck stick than I normally would with a DE. I used glyceryn as a pre-shave and made sure my face was really hydrated well
Pass 1--I shaved WTG nice and slow on left cheek,switched hands and did right cheek-no blood--Repeated with neck area streching skin --no blood---I am now excited---did lip and chin very slowly--no blood
Pass 2--I went XTG using both hands and remembering to stretch skin(its not perfect yet) and shaved whole face again with no blood--I'm pysched now
Pass 3-I went XTG again with a little more diaganol angle on my neck--no blood-I started on my lip going XTG and the razor
skipped or jumped or whatever it did and slammed into my skin--BLOOD--- I shut the shave down
Observation on shave #3---Very happy with this shave( even though my styptic pencil is getting smaller)
I only had the one cut with no weepers---My cheeks were DFS my neck barely SAS and my chin and bloody lip feel like the razor didn't even touch them--workand learning to be done--All in all a big improvement with this shave----I do not have to think anymore about holding the razor and can concentrate more on the angle I am using-can't wait till tomorrows shave
