📝 Shave Summary
Today I went very carefully due to the irritation from yesterday’s shave. I chose 3 passes of Osprey level 1 and pre-shave oil before each pass.
The first pass was comfortable, while the second and third passes were more aggressive. I suspect that the angle of the shaver may be to blame. I’m thinking of trying the “ride the cap” technique on my next shave to get a good grip on the beard and reduce the aggression.
💡 Observations
- Stair 1 is safe but can become aggressive if you don’t find the right angle.
- Using pre-shave oil before each pass improved comfort.
- The “ride the cap” technique will be tried on the next shave for better results.
