Remember to forget me!
Think of it as a straight razor with a training wheel, the cap.
Remember, I've used a DE shavette, Mike, and a straight. This Grande felt more like it wanted to bite me than those did.
Find the right angle for the blade edge that you like and adjust pressure to make the blade engage.
I'll not be using pressure
I think my touch was light enough, and didn't notice any chatter, so I'm assuming that I was running too steep. However, as I said above, I think I need to do an intentionally steep shave, and an intentionally shallow shave, and assess not just the initial result, but the time till next shave as well.
It's far too early for me to be drawing any conclusions, until I find what handling best aligns that razor with my skin/beard. Usually it's three or four shaves for me to get familiar with a new razor, but I might need to let my face rest a days or so between shaves. I reckon by the midle to end of next week, I'll have a better appreciation for it.
Rather than just let my thoughts lurk in here, I'll probably start another thread in the Double Edge forum.
