I have never considered shaving since I grew up watching my dad using an electric razor all the time. Also, I keep hearing from my mom about how shaving instead of cutting a whisker will somehow make my face covered with rapid growing beards later (I would've shaved a lot early if that's true because I now know beard on man is manly).
I am a senior at my college and I reached a point in my life that I have decided to become a manly man.
Naturally, I started browsing the internet for every info about what Man does. Then I stumble upon Badger&Blade when I was searching for shaving since electric razor is just not good enough.
I finalize my shaving set up to Schick Injector Type K2 and KissmyFace brushless shave cream. I like the concept of single blade that you only have to worry about wear on one side and Schick Injector have a easy learning curve; and I like the concept of a brushless shave cream for the convenience it provides.
I prep'd with a shower and started shaving. It is probably considered a poor shave by majority of the members here because I can really feel the whiskers when I feel my skin against the grains, and I can see the whiskers/shadow from a distance. But, I am happy to say I have not nicks or cuts.
Question:
1. How do you shave with a Schick Injector? Slight pressure? And do you want the whole head flat on the skin? But when I put the head on a table I don't think the blade and the foam catcher (?) are in contact with the table.
2. How do you inject a new blade in the Type K with Hydro-Magic? I think pull out the lever makes injecting new blade easier otherwise the key forces the moving parts and bend them for the whole key to be inserted.
3. I feel pain while shaving, but no irritation/nicks/cuts/redness. Am I so afraid that the pain is psychological? Or is the blade pulling the whiskers?
