Again, its just a personal preference. Weather its right or wrong, IDK. If it works for you, it might be part of your own style, coming from an ever lessening fear of the razor.
Just don't forget to respect the razor. :tameshigiri:
Your far surpassing me, at twenty shaves. Twernt no thank called ta internet. Just me, an ol leather belt, my 4/8 Torrey razor, and a can O goo. Honed it as best I could, on my only stone of unidentified grit. (Not a finisher, for sure )
Stood in front of the mirror, shaking like a dog crapping glass, as I took my first pass to a full face shave. And they were nothing , compared to the shaves your enjoying now.
That's what this forum brought to me, the guidance to improve my shaves. I'm just sharing what I've learned in over 30 yrs with a straight, and what the fine gents here have shared with me.
