Hi all
Decided to put this here. I have had a couple of threads about my shaving, one in DE razors, one in DE blades. They had reasons for being where they were at the time, this thread has no such reason so I am putting it here.
I am 9 or 10 months into DE shaving. I still don't have anything perfected.
I thought I had had a breakthrough some months back and discovered at the end of a thread here:
http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showthread.php/505321-My-(YMMV)-comparison-of-different-blades
That the breakthrough was actually a break. When I broke my right arm and started shaving left handed.
I had changed a technique at the time that stopped doing a with-the-grain pass and thought that that was what suddenly made my shaves better.
Then I started the thread above, started using my right hand again and proceeded to have bad shaves again.
Near the end of the thread I had a moment of lucidity that it was my left hand. That thread has now been abandoned.
I am still experimenting. I was going a little nuts using the same razor / soap etc. in the other thread so i am going to have a couple of weeks of trying out all sorts of things before going back to proper blade testing.
