Hi All,
Hoping for some advice. I currently shave with Feather AC (folding and non folding), and get some pretty decent shaves with them. I have a trouble spot that always seems to come up though, and that is shaving my mustache. I have watched several videos on how people do it, but I can't help but get a nick regardless. I am currently trying to put the blade straight under my nose, then sort of scoop down (as I have seen in videos). This usually results in a very uncomfortable pass that either does not come out clean, or I get nicked right by my lip. Does anyone in the straight razor community have any tips on how to get this trouble spot? I sometimes have to finish my shave with a DE to avoid nicking myself twice, but every attempt I have made of using the shavette in this area leads to bad results. Thoughts, suggestions? It seems like the angle is too severe, but I am not sure how to properly shave this area without having that kind of angle.
