Prescription Glasses!!

[LesC]

Just completed my first 2 SR shaves, with my Red Bellied Black from Proserpine Razors, 4 days apart due to "numerous nicks/cuts". Is there a secret or recommended grip for shaving if you "have" to wear glasses? Yes on my 2nd attempt I tried a barber mirror, but no, the bottom of the glass frame and lack of vision to depth perception still existed. Maybe a Kamisori style 'hold" or razor?
Cheers in advance
PS; blind as a bat without them so "taking off" not an option

Reminds me of my friend Toto in Cebu. He SR shaved daily and was totally blind. Why do you need the see when SR shaving?

Why do you need the see when SR shaving?

I wonder!

Hmm, I wear glasses but take them off to shave, and just enjoy the blurry goodness. The only way I could see it working is to lather up without the glasses on then take smaller strokes when using the razor. A mirror to the the side may also help when doing your cheeks so that you get a better angle and avoid hitting your frames.

I wear glass when I SR shave. It takes a little trial and practice to get the sighting worked out.

For shaving from my LH sideburn down using my right hand, I open the scales just 90°. That gives me good sight of the edge against my skin.

Thankfully I only need my glasses for distance so I don't need them for shaving.

A Kamisori might be the go as the scales won't get in the way or smack your glasses. As an inexpensive trial maybe try one of these first:

Kamisori Shavette DEN SE – The Wet Shaving Co

I have one as well as a Hoshi Tombo Kamisori and the shavette is just as much fun to use.

Or as suggested by rbscebu, just open the scales to 90 and use as a Kamisori.
