Hi Im new to DE shaving, previosly using cartridge i could get a smooth finish all over, I dont get much growth as i shave before it gets to 0.5cm and its not dense
So far im...
Face wash, rinse multiple times
Cremo as a pre shave
Taylor of old bod street cream with Edwin Jagger brush
First time i used razor settings 3 WTG - 2 XTG - 1 ATG this some times felt like it was digging in, Face fairly smooth, odd little nick
Second shave 3 WTG - 2 XTG - 1 ATG this some times felt like it was digging in, Face smooth
Third shave 5 WTG - 3 XTG - 1 ATG this some times felt like it was digging in but not as much
Alum on face
rinse
Moisturiser or aftershave balm
So im at point now where my face is perfectly smooth, but neck wise feels a tad rough on the sides, which will be down to dailing my technique in
Ive not yet tried any other blades, but are the derbys not sharpe enough when going ATG and thats why they feel like they dig in and i dont want to pull on the razor
only other blade i have is the merkur
just after any tips on what to try next, Ive read soo many post on forums, and most just end up coming down to personal preference as everybodys face and skin is different
