2nd shave with the Bunny
After tuesday's shave I let the skin come to rest and in consultation with Tom I made a slight change with the main spring which was a bit unevenly bent. Remember it's a Beta razor, so these things can happen. I loaded a Personna blade from Connaughtshaving, had a proper preparation and went at it.
Taking care to hold the razor at an almost 90 degrees angle and using as light a touch as I could manage I had a
far better shave than tuesday. I guess then it was a combination of bad preparation, bad angle and bad blade. This on the other hand was
way better. I feel I still have a bit of trouble to find the correct angle, but I'll get there. I felt that it was easy and comfortable to hold the razor in different ways for different angles of attack (up-down, down-up, left-right, right-left etc). I felt though that I needed to be aware of having clean hands to be sure of having a good grip on the handle. I think some knurling on the handle may come in handy.
The result after three passes was another BBS shave. The alum still gave a little more than average sting, but way less than with the first shave.
Thanks again,
@twhite510 for making such a nice shaver and sending it around the world!
