Did you do a Fool's Pass?Over the last week, I learned that it is possible to manscape a surprisingly large area of your body with a straight razor.
At least it's efficient.

The whole thing sounds like a Fool's Pass to me...Did you do a Fool's Pass?

My chest hair is thinning out as I use it for tree-topping tests.Troublesome honer? My chest looks like a checker board.
I too have found it a constant battle to avoid creeping up to higher pressures. Not the pressures I was slicing my moles with when I was a rank newbie, but still, more pressure than I'd like.My thoughts are that, over time, I have been subconsciously increasing the razor's pressure against the skin. This morning's shave brought me back to what we preach.
The results of this shave were the closest and most comfortable shave that I can remember. The closeness was even noticed in my difficult areas, jaw lines, neck and lower chin.
Try it. Try to shave just the lather off and not cut your whiskers.
Even with over 800 daily SR shaves, I am still susceptible to increase pressure creap. It is just taking longer now to happen. Maybe once I get to 2k or 3k SR shaves, it will become a thing of the past.I too have found it a constant battle to avoid creeping up to higher pressures. ....
Nope. One must be ever vigilant.Maybe once I get to 2k or 3k SR shaves, it will become a thing of the past.
I only use alum to stem bloodletting. I hadn't used it for so long that last year I put it away. Very next shave it was needed again!I’ve been back and forth on alum. I’ve gotten to the point where I get next to no feedback on my shaves and it is no longer detrimental to a good post shave feel. After taking a break from it I’ve concluded that it doesn’t offer any real benifit to the post shave either. It’s just an extra step.
Today I realised a 3/8 razor is just too small for me. I have no problem with 4/8 or 9/16, even a "well used" 4/8 honed down to 7/16 is useable, but 3/8 is just a step too far.
I realise some you fine gents use honed toothpicks, and good luck to you, but not for me.
What seems like a lot of work now will become joyful later. At least, that's what happened to me. I got through the first 15-20 SR shaves on pure determination to make it work. Sometime in there, I got hooked, and now I would never shave any other way.I've learned that after 4 SR shaves, that SR shaving is difficult. And is alot more work. I am questioning what the payoff is over DE shaving. I am a long way from getting a DFS or BBS smooth shave.
This is so familiar. Everyone can say, "It's a journey", but it's your feet treading the path. I'll just echo those above and say that it absolutely does get both easier and better.I've learned that after 4 SR shaves, that SR shaving is difficult. And is alot more work.
