What's new

Me? Razorburn?

I was running a little late last night so I had to cut some corners. I always shave after a nice, hot shower. Last night I just rinsed off with some hot water, hand-lathered my Proraso, grabbed my trusty Slim adjustable (Thanks, Randy, I love it!) loaded with a Kai blade and went to town.

My chin looks like it has diaper rash. During the shave I thought my razor was playing hopscotch it was skipping so much. I tried little fixes during the shave but I just kept screwing it up more and more.

This just drills home the fact that PREP PREP PREP is a major key to a great shave. Also, never pop in Flight of the Conchords before having to go to work. It's too easy to be sucked in by their antics.
 
I have had those shaves even with good prep... not sure why it happens. For me, it might just be my mental state... not relaxed or pre-occupied.
 
I plan ahead for when I'm going to shave. That way I have plenty of time to relax and get ready for it. I lay out my gear before I shower, take a nice relaxing shower, then do a really good prep hwee I make sure everything is set for the shave. Then I go to it. I make sure that my shave is a special quiet time just for myself. I guess I just make sure everything is ready before I begin putting that razor to my face. It doesn't really take any longer, but its so worth it. :thumbup1: :a14: :punk: :clap:
