Thread: test results - positive or negative

Only return to the 4K in the event you are unhappy with the single results of 8K alone.

A lower shaving angle is often recommend, especially for course beards. I use a low angle first pass and high angle second pass. Its your face.

As far as leading with the tip and scything those are often helpful. Just be careful not to over scyth, you'll cut yourself if your not careful. And also, never, ever begin a cutting stroke on a facial protrusion with a scything motion. Don't begin on your cheek bone or directly on your chin. These little tidbits are available in the barbers manuals.

I use a slight scything motion on my second pass. I learned not to mix scything with a facial protrusion . . . the hard way.

The razor should be sharp enough to shave effortlessly without a lot of scything action so don't over depend on the ability to cut via "slicing" motions. But it is a good stroke, used often with straights.
