Passes: (Face) WTG, ATG
Passes: (Neck) WTG, ATG
Cuts: 3 (Running total: 14)
I've now reduced my original number of cuts by half, and today they were all on my chin, which seems to be the area that gives me the most trouble. Interestingly, the two areas I tend to struggle with a DE - my jawline and above my lip - seem to be better with the Weck. My chin is a real struggle though.
Yesterday u/djundjila gave me some tips - I reduced the angle and slowed way down, and have way less irritation - enough so that the balm pretty much killed any lasting discomfort. There was discomfort well into the afternoon the last two days, so a significant improvement.
If I have 28 more shaves like this, I'll be satisfied enough to keep with it, so unless I regress a lot, I think I'm in for the month.
