First time trying straight razor?

[Anonymous]

first time trying a straight razor, is the cause of this shaving the wrong way or what? i like using it, but im clearly doing it wrong.

Try applying a warm washcloth to the face and neck first, then shaving cream. Shave with the grain, upward on the neck and downward on the face. Then apply a cold washcloth afterward.

thanks man

[RealMarek]

You’re welcome. I hope it helps. Also remember to use a very light touch with a straight razor.

Yeah you did something wrong or there's something wrong with the blade or cream you used

[FreyaRed]

I'm not a face shaving expert but this happens with wrong blade, too much pressure and too many passes

[jennifer_bloom]

Did you use a cream while doing it? I would go on Reddit or YouTube to get advice about shaving.

are you sure you didn't grab a machete instead...

Holy shit dude

Sugar and olive oil scrub to exfoliate. Wipe it off. Use a hot wet towel on your skin and hair for a while. Apply a Shave oil then shave cream. Rinse off the blade frequently.

Follow all the other advice but remember to pull the skin kind of tight too. Not real tight, but a little. Like getting a tattoo
