Hi all,
I've only been shaving with straights for 3 months and change, so I'll still finding my way around this thing. While shaving this morning, I was straightening (or leveling out, or whatever you call it) my sideburns as I do once or twice a week, and a thought occurred: Since the blade is going through to much hair, and since that hair is not taut, doing this might very well kill the edge. If so, this could be part of the reason I've been having to refresh my edges on the coticule every 3 or 4 shaves...
Is this the case? Does maintaining one's sideburns degrade the edge significantly more than regular shaving would?
Thanks in advance!
