Can anyone tell me what helps prevent razor skipping? Sometimes when I shave, the razor will feel as though the head is sticking to my skin and not gliding smoothly.
Sounds like a lack of proper lubrication. What products/prep are you using?Jimmy Gee said:Can anyone tell me what helps prevent razor skipping? Sometimes when I shave, the razor will feel as though the head is sticking to my skin and not gliding smoothly.

Michael, this happens seemingly without fail with any blade I use, although it does seem to be better with sharper blades. It is best with Feather, Merkur, and Derby blades for me. I notice that pulling skin seems to make it worse. I pull the skin in the opposite direction that the hair grows, i.e. I pull the skin up from above the hair that grows downward.
