Hey guys,
I’ve started wet shaving about 8 months ago. Bought myself quality gear, great shaving products, took my time to gather knowledge, carefully practiced my skills... to cut a long story short, the transition went great.
As great as after a couple of months, the shaving necessity became a hobby.
For whatever reason, since about a month ago, I cannot manage to complete a shave without nicking my face badly. Especially on the neck area and the side areas of the mouth (between the moustache and the chin).
I haven’t changed anything, I’m using the same Feather AS-D2, with the same Feather blades, I’m changing them every 2 or 3 shaves, I’m using the same Chubby 2 brush and the same Mitchel’s wool fat shaving soap, the lather is better than ever, I’m not applying more pressure on my face than before, I’m not waiting more than 2 days between shaves, I’m always shaving after a shower, what am i doing wrong now that I haven’t done before? It’s starting to get really frustrating, demotivating and it’s pissing me off!
The first pass goes well, but after the second pass, my neck starts to bleed... And I have no words to express how gentle I’m passing the razor, my face is always lathered, etc..
I would be so grateful someone could enlighten me!
Cheers!
