    You guys can do searches on "scything" if you want more info, and yes be careful, keep the face/neck hydrated and use a light touch.

    WOW! You guys are right! I tried the scything or guillotine technique tonight. What a difference!

    I lathered up twice with hot William's while stropping, then used 2 WTG passes. I did a third pass using a scything sweep, and it took most of the remaining hair off very smoothly. AND, I only nicked myself once next to the goatee.

    Just a follow-up note:

    As bbshriver noted in the OP, I've noticed much less irritation after the shave last night. My face feels much more smooth than past shaves, and very comfortable.

    All should try this technique at least one, and go slowly the first time
