Well, i shaved with my EJ this morning with a feather and it did drag a little! I ended up using my Proglide to finish off!!! Not used that for months!! Was good too!!

To combat dragging, use a fresh blade and hold your razor tightly (without adding pressure to the blade).
I find that having a firm grip helps combat skipping of the razor.

@Goatee: Nate gave you some good advice. You should also check your lather to make certain you got a good amount to decrease the drag.

Thanks guys. It was a new blade. Also, i used loads of lather. It was only dragging on certain areas.
The blade was a feather. Used on a couple of times now but still i am having to go over some bits quite a few times and even then they remain a little rough.

I am liking the Feather these days! Still need to perfect my technique though as still rough in places!

I don't mind Feathers, but I tend to like Lab Blue's or Med Prep's a little more.
But that's part of the fun of wet shaving, trying new stuff

Razor: Merkur 37c
Blade: Feather
Soap: TOBS Sensitive + Wilkinson Sword (Mixed)
Brush: EJ Badger
Dessert: Cold Water, Bump Patrol
Cut myself once! It was a bleeder but Alum Block sorted that out! First time with a Feather in the 37c. Overall a nice shave. Still some rough bits that just wont get smooth though!
Shaved my face too (Around Goatee) but used my Braun for that!
