I'm still figuring out how to use my Arkansas Black, and today's shave was a mixed message. The shave was close -- near perfect, I'm still happy with the closeness and it's 12 hours later -- but after a few hours my face is sore. I had polished the blade on an Arkansas black before the shave. So what is my shave telling me?
BTW, I'm controlling my variables: same soap, same stropping, same razor, shaving daily. After shaving for a week, I felt the blade needed a refresh, so that's what I did this morning. I'm holding off on describing how I did the refresh to focus on what the shave feedback is.
