That I'm a fool for not shaving this way years ago.
Almost all who perseevere lean the same.That I'm a fool for not shaving this way years ago.
I have the same dislike for the Gold Dollars with the plastic scales. For me the plastic scales throw the razor's centre of gravity way out of my comfort zone. Have yet to learn about replacing scales.How much I enjoy using my Gold Dollar now that I’ve replaced those cheap scales. The steel is decent and it keeps a good edge. I just like the heft of it. Good value really.
I agree. A light touch will accomplish more than a heavy hand. And I find it more relaxing.Before shaving this morning, I decided that I would try and shave with as little pressure as possible. I did (with IOVIS from my Latin M7DS) and achieved one of the best shaves that I have had in a long time.
I am putting this result down to:
I'll keep concentrating on no pressure for a few more shaves to get me back to where I should be.
- Over time I think that I subconsciously gradually increase pressure while shaving. The increase is so ever slight that I never notice it.
- I was even more focused on my technique by concentrating more on using almost no pressure.
I can picture reaching over the head to stretch the skin and the loose sleeve covering your face. It could be a Mr. Bean skit.Been shaving lately in my dressing gown. Down here in Sydney is has been so bloody cold in the mornings that shaving in my boxers just isn't an option. I do have a little fan heater go but it's still brass monkey weather. So I have been shaving in my dressing gown and it has long, loose sleeves and they are a right pain for shaving with a straight as you (well me anyway) continually have my hands above ear height, both stretching skin and making strokes. The sleeves get in the way and are annoying. Can't wait for spring and warmer weather - for shaving anyway, I don't like the heat so much these days.
Not to mention the soap getting splashed around the country side and all over my dressing gown!
