Thread: The dangers of skin stretching.....

BETTER TO PUSH ON IT THAN TO SLICE IT !!!

I found that I didn't need to stretch the skin drum tight necessarily. I also tended to overdo it a bit when I was starting out. Now I just snug it up enough to flatten the wrinkles out and tighten it up a bit.

damn, I think more downward pressure and less inward pressure would be good news!

I would be scared for life if I didn't stretch my skin, I would have probably sliced off my chin.

Reminds me of the story of someone I knew who was learning Russian and while trying to pronounce some phrase he dislocated his jaw. Or at least that was his story.

that's why i use botox, no wrinkles and no choking, best of both worlds

Depends on where you inject the botox.

If done correctly, on someone you dislike, you can get very satisfactory choking.

When I started reading this thread, I thought that it was going to be about razor burn or irritation, which is common among newbie stretchers. I soon discovered my mistake ;-). C'mon guys, this is shaving. It is supposed to be fun, not a torture chamber. If you find yourself inflicting pain while contorting your body to get that last one piece of hair or lightheaded almost to the point of passing out, there is a chance that you may be doing something unnecessary, wrong or both and likely not worthwhile. I advice to exercise some common sense. Happy stretch free shaving ;-).

Al raz.

And don't forget the complete lack of facial expressions. Could be really useful when you get pulled over for speeding, or need to explain to your wife why you need a new razor. LOL

He must have been a cunning linguist.
