Would you say the Overlander is more aggressive than the Bison? I chose the Bison because I thought it was a bit less aggressive (on paper) for a Newb but also for the price point. Mine is on the way from Canada as we typeGot a chance to try the Bison the other day. Unlike most folks, it just didn't do it for me. I definitely felt the blade more, and thought it was a good shave, it lacked the joy I get from the Overlander.
I'm very glad I had the chance to try it, as it just makes me appreciate the Overlander that much more.
Happy Friday folks!
Maybe it's just me, but my focus is on my fingertips, and all movements stem from an awareness of them. It's the reason I'm so picky about handles. If a handle feels insecure (or otherwise imbalanced), I'll grip it more tightly and lose sensitivity.I always loved the GSB, especially in the 6s. I'm not sure I've used it in the Bison, but it should work fine. Regarding pressure -- I'd focus less on pressure and more on maintaining the razor cutting angle. If you focus on the razor angle more, you might find that you will need less pressure. Also, shave with your arm and not your wrist (this will be a good habit to obtain for the long run).
I get that. Sometimes a shave stroke will begin rough, like when I shave from the corner of my mouth following my lip. The roughness is sometimes the shaving angle, other times I may be holding the razor too firm and not letting the safety bar float against the contour of the skin. But I always check both. So yeah, the fingers tips do play a significant role.Maybe it's just me, but my focus is on my fingertips, and all movements stem from an awareness of them.

Ultimately, of course, the entire chain, up to and including your shoulder is involved, but if I focus anywhere, it's at my fingertips.
I think we're saying the same thing, only describing it differently.
