So here's a few questions in one as I'm trying to figure out DE Shaving. If you notice during your first WTG pass that you've already thrown down a few nicks, do you not do a second pass? It's only my 5th shave with a DE and really chewed my neck up. Good prep (hot shower, had some softening conditioner on my face in the shower, later combo of Classic Shaving soap and DR Harris Lavender cream, nice slick lather). Using a 38C loaded with a Derby (on it's 2nd shave). I won't pretend the technique was all that good when it came to shave, but it a nice SLOW shave with what seemed like zero pressure other that the substantial weight of the 38c. By the time it hit my neck with the Alum Block (Cheeks were fine) it stung more than it has in the pass. Not a ton, but 4 or 5 good nicks. My initial reaction was that the Derby blade was just too dull...but I'm thinking I should have quit while I was ahead with one not so great WTG pass and waited til tomorrow to pick it up again.
Also, where does a "weeper" stop and "nick" begin?
Thanks guys.
