I'll keep an eye on the shaver, but I'm fairly certain that I held it at too steep an angle when I cut myself.
I'll look into the replacement blades, as of now I'm using the blades that came with the handle.
This was my first shave, so I can't really blame the cuts on a dull razor 😅
I shaved right after a hot shower where I had thoroughly washed my face and beard with s face wash and a scrub. I kept reapplying the lather, but probably got the angle wrong when I cut myself.
Yeah, I barely used any pressure, I think the reason I cut myself was because of the angles as it was against the grain in tricky areas for me.
It was tight, I cut myself during my second pass when I went against the grain. The shave is definitely close enough, just not as close as I'm used to, but my beard growth is really slow so I only need to shave once or twice a week.
I did two passes, the same as I did with my plastic Gilette. It's a skill issue for sure, I have shaved with the same razor for about 16 years, and this shave isn't that far off from my previous shaves.
Yeah, I had looked into safety razors years ago, but as the price gap was bigger back then I dismissed them.
Now I paid the same price for this handle, and the blades cost next to nothing. Only a bit of a learning curve.
Thanks, I've been thinking of getting some proper splitting wedges (what I previously referred to as logging chisels), might get a bit ambitious and use it for a desk shelf I've been intending to build for a while.
I recently got a job which required I use a work computer, which uses Windows and every ms service, some of us do have to suffer like this...
Well, the skill won't appar out of thin air, I'm really not good with any of my tools, but I enjoy the process.
Well, barely above beginner then. All tools I own are some hand planes, chisels, and handsaws. All in varying condition.
