Chan Eil Whiskers
Fumbling about.
I'm only a dozen or so shaves into using a true SR (as opposed to a Feather barber razor), and still have newbie questions. I'm a good and experience safety razor shaver.
How much blade feel do you get with your SR?
It occurred to me this morning that at some very shallow angles (spine just about on my skin) I'm not getting really any blade feel, but I think maybe the blade is cutting whiskers.
With a safety razor I usually get only a little blade feel (and I don't dislike or fear blade feel), but it's largely angle and razor dependent I think with the safety razor.
Do you use pressure with the SR or do you use a very light touch or what?
Again, this morning I noticed myself at a very shallow angle using some pressure, but maybe this was stupid or an otherwise bad idea?
Thanks and happy shaves,
Jim
