Imagining solutions for imaginary problems
I'm late to post my shave -- and no pic this time (sorry about that). It's been a while since I've shaved with my Weck -- I missed last Wednesday -- but I tried to make it up on April 1st. Not my best shave....I cut myself (only my 2nd cut since using the Weck). The cut probably won't leave a scar (my very first cut did), but it annoyed me and it bled so much that it was difficult to get through the shave. I ended up doing 1 pass with the Weck and finishing the shave with a PAL Injectomatic (the mildest of all my injector-style razors).
I need to keep at it. I can shave my cheeks to near BBS without any issues, and I do an "okay" job on my lower throat and upper lip, but any curvature or different approach (i.e., chin and jawline) seems to just throw me for a loop, and my angle gets too steep and I either scrape or cut myself trying to maneuver that area. I'm far from giving up, but I'm also REALLY frustrated. I'll keep at it, and I'll try to use the Weck more often to get in more practice time.
Soap was Cella, lathered with a Yaqi boar. Blade was a Personna that's probably on it's 7th or 8th shave. The razor was my black handled Sextoblade.
