Well, I wanted to shave again today, but my legs are still feeling a bit dry, so I just used some lotion and will wait until tomorrow. If my willpower holds out, that is.
I'm gonna try that. I'd say my last lather was a bit thinner than I'd have liked. Not in a watery way; it stayed put very well and had good peaks and stuff, but I still felt like it wasn't as cushiony or slick and I might like it to be. Though perhaps that's just this particular soap? Could that be from not enough soap or not enough water?
This was super helpful. Thank you! I thought I might be holding the handle a bit too high, but it looks like I'm probably hovering near the correct right angle, or at least erring on the side of fewer nicks.
I'm just a plastic dinosaur at heart.

Without hijacking this thread I must say... Mal > Pickard AND Kirk!
Welcome to B&B Chicken, and congrat's on the journey.
I cant stop laughing at the "omg-omg-omg" statement...and I understand completely... first time I was shaving over the jugular vein with the straight...
I'm glad you are getting a feel for what you like and don't like!
(And really, new Kirk is way cooler than original Kirk.)
I find it easier to shave the back of my knees when I stretch out my ankle and prop the ankle up higher than where I'm sitting in the bathroom. Makes it a little less awkward for me. I personally do those WTG because I've always had issues with them (even with an electric) but I'm a lot better off with my EJ87.
And shaving under your arms gets less scary the more you do it! (I'm not scared anymore, so that's my only experience!)

That would be Chris Pine.
Yup I only use my blades for one go each and at that I only do one pass on my legs with a couple of touch up strokes.
I'm a big fan of the 7 oclocks but each to their own. When shaving your thigh try pulling the skin taut with your free hand - it made the world of difference to me as for a while I had noticed catching and dragging there , I thought maybe it was my blades dulling by the time I got there but it was just the skin needing to be taut. The same applies for the underarms. Make sure you are using the same hand as the underarm to reach and pull the skin tauter. Yes, you will look like you are doing a monkey impression while doing this

Now every time I shave I will think monkey.
