I believe you'll find this video to be an excellent reference for prepping and performing your shave. I think the fellow on this video does a fantastic job and it's clear that he knows what he's doing. Watch as he prepares the lather, his stropping technique and how he performs his passes.
He may even be a member here. If he is, I'd like to thank him.
Chimensch's Shaving Video - YouTube
Steve,
I think Chimensch produced that video last year or the year before. It is very good and quite educational. You Tube is flooded with mediocre and some dreadful straight razor shaving videos. Chimensch's is in the top tier of quality videos on straight razor shaving and worth viewing many times. Thanks for posting it.
My pleasure. I agree. There's a lot of misinformation out there but this video is one of the best and most correct representations of good practice.
Yes, that's a good one alright, and thanks for bringing it back into the limelight. Here's a link to his original posting of it, for reference:http://straightrazorpalace.com/shavi...ing-video.html
James.
I love that video it is we're I got the idea for using a sponge instead of running water to wipe my blades from
But I don't wet my sponge either
No wet pivots since then
I just love the 'fools pass' - I use both hands now too
And then a video of how NOT to shave.....

I would have liked this video better had the guy used the Bell's for aftershave.:)
I believe we have the understatement of the week....Quote:

I fully agree with you, DoughBoy. This video falls in the "dreadful" category. I saw it couple years back and was embarrassed for this person. The biggest fault with it is that it is so juvenile — for a grown man.Quote:
