Been at this DE shaving for about 9 weeks now and have a question.
I have been getting some really good shaves and some not quite so good ones. some are irritation free some a little irritation on the neck and chin. Also seem to get a few white spots but only on the sides of my chin. Obviously from being a little close and possibly from over moiturising small weeps. I have wondered if there is more of a finess and accuracy to the whole blade angle thing, so my question is:
How do you guys get to the correct blade angle. At the moment i tend to go alot by sound, and wonder wether i am getting a little steep.
To me at the moment it all seems a little inaccurate. If the razor is too much on its back the blade doesn't cut, then as i roll it onto its edge i start to hear and feel the blade start to work, but don't seem to feel any difference if i keep rolling the blade further onto its edge. How accurate do you boys get the coorect blade angle and how much difference do you notice as the blade comes up. I have been wondering if this is what makes the difference between a good close irritation free shave, a not so close shave with some irritation.
I have not yet experienced the, i can't feel that cutting but my foam is full of stubble feeling. But i tend to aim straight for the yes i can feel and hear those wiskers popping and rasping stage. I think i am addicted to the sound. :lol:
Whats your secret.
