Efficient? Most certainly, but definitely not forgiving...This sounds somewhat familiar from my journey. I can’t even pinpoint what caused the change for me. It could have been the almost negative pressure (I know, sounds silly) I learned to apply, or the angle of the head, or the length of the strokes or their specific direction… Somehow, I now just know that I can pick up the Blackbird and get a great shave with no issues. It’s still a razor that demands attention and respect, but I enjoy the closeness of the shave that it provides.
Good luck and keep us posted!
Whenever I go to shave, I assume there’s someone else on the planet shaving, so I say “I’m gonna go shave, too.”
