Hi,
Today I had my first shave with disposable shavette. This was my first shave ever with shavette, I also have to mention I've never had a shave with straight razor.
So let me begin I was scarred for my moles not that I'll cut rest of my face. First encountered problem was holding it. For a first pass I went with the grain and I did not missed a place on my cheeks, but (there is always a but) when I moved to my neck things started to be quite difficult but only one small weeper after WTG pass.
Second pass was a mixture of XTG on my chin and lower neck and ATG on my cheeks, sideburns.
So here is result- solid shave, my neck is really really smooth I'd say result is just as good as with my Gillette SS Regular tip.
On the other side I have a few weepers and slight razor burn, also good amount of discomfort while shaving since this was my first time ever holding and shaving with that kind of razor.
So I have question; my razor skipped in a moments when I felt like I'm loosing control over the blade, do I have to hold it closer to the blade when I perform upward strokes?
Best regards,
Borna
