Hello all. I just started wet shaving a couple of weeks ago. My brother got me started. He sent me everything I needed to get started except a brush. I bought a vulfix 1001 brush and got going.
I just wondered if you veterans could give me any advice. Every morning I shave, my face burns all the way to work. I have watched all the mantic59 videos on you tube for some pointers. I try to keep my razor at a 30 degree angle and use no pressure, but I still get irritation and have stubble left over. It may just be a learning curve, but any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
By the way, I am using a DE razor and am rotating blades after 2-3 shaves. I have tried two creams (erasmic cream and crabtree and evelyn sienna), and one soap (col. conk). I don't know if my lather is wrong or my technique is bad. Thanks in advance for your help.
