So after resisting the urge to try my new 37c slant before a date last night, I gave it a slow and careful test drive before bed tonight. My shave was awful, but not for the reasons I expected. No blood, no gore. Instead, it left a ton of stubble behind even after 3 full passes.
Same prep as I always do, including showering and washing my face first. Great lather, fresh Feather blade. The shave was so bad that I had to grab my 34c for clean-up, but one more pass and some touch-up was all my face could handle.
What the heck did I do wrong? I read a ton of posts here about the slant, including the ones about being sure the blade was loaded correctly.
Is the blade angle of the 37c totally different than the 34c? I tried to get the angle right, and it felt and sounded like it was cutting, so I was shocked to see what a poor job I'd done. Any suggestions from you slant lovers of what I should do to improve my shave next time?
