HOW MUCH PRESSURE?

[kenrh]

Hi Sly Guys

Trivial question, but I'm still working on the perfect shave.  How much pressure do you apply when shaving?  For example, do you primarily let the shaver do its own thing or do you apply a fair bit of pressure.  I realise this is difficult to quantify but any subjective comments would be appreciated.

Thanks to all for a fantastic forum.  The more we all contribute the better it will be!

Hello Ken!

It's a very important issue.
Using a Headblade-razor you may not apply any pressure at all.
Yesterday morning I was tired and a bit in a hurry and tried to get the perfect smooth head: Ouch, a long cut and much blood!

Good luck.

As little pressure as possible. You'll find that hair on your head is much softer than hair on your face.

Let the blade do the work for ya.

do not apply pressure unless you got tough skin.  I usually just use my middle finger only when using the Headblade to keep from apply too much pressure; give it a try
