Hello all ... I am hoping a guru can help. I have a few newbie questions and maybe one of the experts can share some of their vast knowledge. I will number them for convenience.
Some info, I use a Merkur DE HD slant safety. I shower before, oil up with sandalwood pre-shave from The art of shaving, then use a badger brush with Nivea soap. Shave 3 times, 1 WTG 1 XTG 1 ATG and apply a soapy lather each time with the brush. Then finish with Nivea balm (no alcohol).
1) How the heck do you get the area along the jaw line shaved?? I shave 3 times and can not get close to getting rid of the hair.
2) With the slant razor, is there a certain way to hold the razor depending on which side of the face?? Which side does the slant go on?
3) With the soap, I build a good lather first in the small package the soap is in, then build it up on my face. Is it better to have a mug and bowl??
4) And lastly ... should the skin be pulled tight when shaving or not? There are mixed reports about this in the forums.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Cheers.
