Shave Newbie
Hi all so I started with a Henson safety razor and decided to upgrade to the Rex Konsul last summer. It's a magnificent razor and I've played around with the settings.

Issue I'm still having is getting little bumps of blood under the chin. Not sure if it's the angle I'm shaving at or whether I need to just toughen up my skin under there?
 
I don't have any experience with that razor, so I'm not sure about how aggressive it is. That can be a problem with more aggressive razors in that spot. It's the trickiest spot on my face regardless of the razor. Skin stretching to ensure that area is flat and paying attention to blade angle as you transition around the chin can help a lot.
 
What setting are you using under chin? Maybe back down the settings a couple of notches under chin area while you work on angle
