Hi all,
With DE shaving, the textbook (and Geo Fatboy) says you start with the razor handle parallel to the face (with the blade almost perpendicular to the skin) and then slightly tilt it up until it catches. The tilt angle plus the curvature of the razor's bottom plate make up the angle of the shave.
With a straight razor/shavette I understand you basically start the opposite way. The blade is virtually parallel to the skin and the razor is slightly tilted to make up the shave angle.
In the case of the Feather Artist Club blade in a single edge safety razor (like the Razorock Hawk) or in a Feather shavette, what is +- the difference in angle of the blade compared to the face? I would assume the angle is less with the shavette? What is the range of angles were a razor blade cuts and were you actually start scraping?
Thanks!
