Moving on from WTG for cleaner finish?
I have now more or less got the hang of doing a full face shave with my Thiers Issard 5/8", shaving downwards all the time, which in most areas is with the grain (WTG). The finish I am getting is better than when I used disposable razors but my standards and aspirations have now risen and I want to improve the quality of the finish.
I have very coarse stubble and I am finding that the WTG does give the closeness I would like. I have watched some You tube videos showing across the grain and against the grain techniques, as part of a two or three stage shave. What you you recommend as the next step? Should I try a two pass shave, and If so should the second pass be across or against to start with?
One of the areas that I need to get better is the chin, but this does not seem to lend itself to anything other than a downward pass. Any ideas here?
