The past month i have tried to go against the grain and i am having issues. The problem is i am getting allot of nicks. I think its important to mention that is only under my jaw line where it seems the hair is a bit rougher. The blade feels like it tugging and skipping. Even after going against the grain the area is still very rough. It only dose this on the against grain pass.
Razor is a Edwin Jagger DE89L
Preshave:
Hot shower
Apply lather
Apply hot towel
Things i have done:
Used different blades. I have even tried feather blades. They still tug and skip even on the first shave. I really don't get nicks with feathers unless i go against the grain
Tabac shaving soap
Uberlather
Preshave oil before i start my shave and/or right before i do the against the grain pass
Some of this has reduced the number of nicks but i still getting more then 10 nicks when i go against the grain.
I am not sure what to try next at this point. Maybe try a different razor? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
