Had this Weck thing in my closet a while. I don't remember if someone sent it to me with something else, or I bought it for $10 or something. Ya'll hype these things like they are the second coming of the greatest razor ever. Clearly i'm missing something, or maybe my skin is too sensitive or my beard is too wirey. Or you're all just batshit insane or there's a level of crack thrill I just have not attained yet.
I probably should have watched a video or 2, or read something, but I didn't. I actually didn't cut myself, so if it's gore you're looking for, that didn't happen. The problem is this was the roughest shave of my entire life, and i've used both an ATT S2 and a Blackland Dart. The blade is just terrible. Absolutely uncomfortable. Just scraping hair off my face. Was my angle wrong? Probably. Will I ever try this again? Hell no, i'm just going to bitch and moan that the razor is shit because it couldn't possibly be my technique or my lather. As I was doing parts of 3 passes, my face was getting splotchy? wtf.
The osma....Burned like a mf. Like I felt what all of you are talking about when you say "I don't see how anyone ever gets a burn free shave with alum". Well, my theory is confirmed, it's your technique. Yeeee.
Took a shower (duh), face felt a little Better. Brut was a little stingier than normal. Figure my face still feels like it's on fire, let's use some balm. Didn't help. Face is still sore af.
TLDR: Wecks suck, it couldn't be my technique.
