Lately I have hit one of those shave plateaus where the shaves are good, but I've been left feeling that they could/should be a little bit better. This is, I'm sure, partly due to the fact that I've had no consistency or routine in product use for the last month. I've been skipping around from razor to razor and cream to soap to cream. What I realized yesterday morning, however, was that over time, I've allowed myself to begin putting some unnecessary pressure on the razor. Once realized, I felt dumb enough about it as this is one of those things that I am more than eager to offer up to any newbie who has shared their problems. The good part of the story is, my shaves are back on track.
To anyone sitting on one of these shave plateaus, don't be too proud to re-examine your technique/form and see if you haven't allowed a bad habit or two to develop.
