What's new

New to Wet Shaving... Want to say Hello

I am new to wet shaving. Have been using those 5 blades for yeeears. Finally decided to give wet shaving a try since cartridges are expensive and I kind of dig the looks of a DE razor.

I bough a VDH from target and used their shave butter. First round of that with my weeks worth of peach fuzz and I cut up my face pretty good. Read up more on the technique, applied some bottled shaving cream over the VDH shave butter and shaved 2 days of stubble/scruff off and much better experience.

I just purchased some Stirling soap to try and a synth brush as well.

Still a work in progress and still working on improving my technique.
 
Welcome to B&B
Your problem might be your pushing a bit hard, just let the weight of the razor do the work and experiment with the angle a little.

The Stirling soap is good stuff. And the synthetic brushes are awesome.

Good luck and may all your shaves be close.
