im missing stubble while shaving with not using pressure on the razor to myface. how do you all get past that
Try experimenting with the shaving angle. Your razor has a range of angles at which it is effective, from "riding the cap" (shallow angle) to "riding the guard" (steep angle). If you are shaving with the razor outside that range of angles, you won't get a close shave.im missing stubble while shaving with not using pressure on the razor to myface. how do you all get past that
I suspect you need to look at the blade angle which is another factor to getting the most effective cutting angle. Have a look here; Blade Angle | Badger & Bladeim missing stubble while shaving with not using pressure on the razor to myface. how do you all get past that
Try experimenting with the shaving angle...
By applying more pressure, you widen the effective shaving angle, but are more likely to get irritation. Applying pressure is compensating for poorly controlled angles, but this is not really the best technique
Most definitely NOT.would using too little pressure cause razor burn?
Not likely to. It is usually too much pressure, not using a good lather, going over the same area again and again too many times striving for a BBS, going against the grain when your skin can't deal with it, etc.would using too little pressure cause razor burn?
i did 3 with touch ups i have the bad habit of going overthe same spot a few times with no lather on it. just shaved using a very little pressure and very short strokes and got a nearly irritation free shave, even going against the grain after shaving yesterday! must be on the right trackNot likely to.

When people start out in this, they tend to believe they must get a BBS result or else they have "failed". You don't have to have a BBS shave, just aim for a close, comfortable shave to start with. You will get closer with practice. Try doing no more than three passes, or even two passes, plus some touch-ups.
You will. It's just going to take some experimentation and practice, is all.i did 3 with touch ups i have the bad habit of going overthe same spot a few times with no lather on it. just shaved using a very little pressure and very short strokes and got a nearly irritation free shave, even going against the grain after shaving yesterday! must be on the right track
also using cornhuskers lotion as a pre-shave has helped though id like to get a good one
if you shave down at skin level where the hair is fully supported, the hair will shear off cleanly.
If your blade starts lifting off your face, it will be bending the hair, digging in too high up the shaft of the hair, and pulling at the bulb down in the root of the hair.
This can cause a lot of the problems with irritation and inflammation.
A+"No pressure" doesn't mean literally no pressure. It's meant to suggest not to apply excessive pressure.
Finding that sweet spot between the optimal angle and the amount of pressure needed for each pass is the art.
Pls note that a different amount of pressure is needed for different passes. Say WTG, you can "let the weight of the razor do the work"... well, at least with some (heavy) razors you can. OTOH, going ATG will certainly require some amount of pressure.
As always it is YMMV, as thickness of hair and density of growth varies greatly, as well as skin sensitivity. Some folks can get a BBS with a single WTG pass, they are the guys who use the same blade for 50+ shaves. Others, need a fresh blade for each shave, as they have stubble like Chewbacca. Most people are somewhere "in between".
You might want to try stretching your skin and puffing your cheeks to get the stubble to protrude out of the hair follicle. It makes hair stand more upright, instead parallel to the skin and so it's easier to attack it and obtain that BBS.
