Thread: Any good How 2 DVD's

The customer service gentleman I've been dealing with at classicshaving told me they offer some how 2 dvd's. Has anyone purchased any that were useful? What are their titles?

One of them will be http://straightrazorpalace.com/showthread.php?t=7412 - Lynn's DVD.

Lynn Abrams's "World of Straight Razor Shaving"

Yes, it's extremely good.

Lynn Abrams's "World of Straight Razor Shaving" Is indeed the definitive DVD on Str8 razor shaving. It is an exhaustive work at somewhere around 3 1/2 hours.

I would recommend trying to get it directly from Lynn as the postage and handling fees from Classic shaving was pretty dear.

Couple of critical flaws: Lynn didn't take one for the team and shave his moustache off for the vid, so you will have to use other sources, or your imagination for this tricky area.

I would have liked to see more in action shaving particularly the tricky stuff like against the grain work. I can’t imagine that I am alone in wanting to see more actual shaving.

I was surprised that there was not more of an explanation of the use of the paddle strop.

Tony Miller’s products seem to be in vogue and so widely recommended it was a surprise that more about this particular tool was not included.

I dearly hope that Tony comes out with a DVD as well.

I definately agree with these comments. The DVD is great and will significantly cut down your learning curve. With this said I cannot get a shave that I am satisfied with by just using the WTG passes that Lynn covers in his DVD. Christopher Moss's definitive guide to straight razor shaving at shavemyface.com spends more time talking about the different angles that can be used to get a closer shave. This helped me tremendously and I highly recommend it to anyone else looking for more information on shaving angles to supplement the great information on Lynn's DVD.

I'd be very surprised to hear anyone say they don't like that DVD. It's really all you could want as a beginner.

Ok, you asked for it... "I didn't like the DVD"...

Now I'm even more interested in straights and it's costing me $$, so there

Can you give a link to "Christopher Moss's definitive guide to straight razor shaving" I have searched that site with no luck.
