    Default Aahhhh.

    Oh yeah, thats better. So I flattened my angle, a lot, and what a difference it made. Much more comfortable and actually a closer shave than the old Gillette sensor! I was feeling confident and finished both cheeks and sideburns down to the jawline and was able to switch hands for the left side. The right neck area was attempted, but it wasn't that close so I went over it with the sensor. The chin and mustache area are still scary and I didn't try to tackle that yet. I am guessing I will need to pull or push my nose around quite a bit to get the angle for the middle of the upper lip. Overall, I am much happier with my second attempt.

    I also slowed down my stropping stoke and was very careful with it. Not sure how much this helped with the comfort of the shave, but I was happy with it.

    Great to hear your progress! The first few shaves are always a struggle, but once you start seeing progress on the learning curve, things really start developing nicely.

    You will get it. Just hang in there. My TWO good shaves so far, of seven, showed me that the blade gets sharper and smoother when ur doing something rite.
