Am I the only one?

[migban]

Hello all, this is my first post.

About a year ago, I began shaving with safety razors. As a cautious newbie, I started with Henson. After testing several blades, I settled for Feather.

A couple of weeks ago, I got the itch for something aggressive and got myself a Muhle R41.

The first shave was going fine until I butchered my undernose. I tried a second time, with similar results.

Not giving up, I tried the following:

1. The first pass with the Muhle
2. Second pass on cheeks and sideburns Muhle
3. Second pass on all the rest and undernose with the Henson.

Best shave I ever had.

Thoughts?

I've done the same thing. Couple of days ago, I completed the first pass with my Yaqi Tile, and then did the second pass and touch-ups with my Gillette Fatboy to get a great, really comfortable shave.

Do what suits you and your style. There's no right or wrong.

I used to use my Henson Mild for the final pass as well.
Since getting my Overlander aluminum I just use it.

Be well

To be honest I don't quite get your question? "Am I the only one?" on the topic and "Thoughts?" in the post.

You started shaving with a very mild razor and then you bought a very aggressive razor. Maybe instead of changing razors during shave it would be better to buy a razor that is inbetween those models in terms of aggressiveness. Just a thought...

If your question revolves around using more than one razor during a shave, there are plenty of us who do that regularly, and on occasion. The other day, I finishes my ATG and clean-up passes with a BIC metal that was handy as I was concerned about irritation.

Do whatever works for you.

This.

You should not "need" more than one razor for a shave. If you "want" to use multiple razors for fun, that's up to you.

Have fun, but too much work for me.

Welcome to the B&B forums!

You're aren't the only one. There are plenty of people on here who use two razors for all shaves. Personally I use only one razor. But as said do what ever works for you.

Thank all for your replies

You have tons of company!

And some DE razors can be ordered with dual combs. For example, you can order a Wolfman with different blade gaps on each side or one side CC and the other OC.

I love my adjustable in regards to what you're trying to ask. I use my Gillette Slim quite a lot. It's like having 9 razors in 1...haha!

Enjoy your shaves!
