The dangers of skin stretching.....
I've been shaving for a few weeks now and I noticed something odd happening to me. Whenever I was shaving my throat area I found myself getting light headed. My vision would become blurred. I was going to start a thread here asking if it happens to anyone else.
But then I figured out what was happening.
When stretching my skin in this area I was pushing down on my carotid artery. I was pushing down so hard, and taking so long concentrating on the shave that I giving myself a mini choke hold...
Be careful

I'm sure no body is dumb enough to knock themselves out while shaving (apart from me
), but I thought I'd mention it anyway!

Oddly enough I don't do any facial yoga while striaght shaving, although I have thought about that on the kneck area.

I also experienced this early on (but only on one side of my neck) when I was first learning to shave with a straight, but I never figured out why that used to happen to me
Maybe that is what I was doing as well

Do you remember which side, Lee? For me it's the left side that will do that.
