Thread: Most valuable and UNCOMMON tips and advices

I have several tips I have written about before that might be of help.

1. How do I know when my lather is wet enough?
Well, after I lather up and take a few strokes with my blade, when I put the blade under the faucet and lightly rinse it, if the lather doesn't totally wash off the blade I know I need to add a little water to the mix. When it washes off completely, I know it is wet enough.

2. The chin seems to be a problem for most. I stretch the chin after I shave the cheeks clean by putting my thumb on the corner of one jaw and my middle finger on the other corner and push backwards. This stretches the chin tight so I can shave it without issues, in most any direction I like.

3. What about under the nose?
It seems that doing the masters pass is pretty simple, once you get the rolling technique figured out, but then what? I decided to try something a little different to do the fools pass, from south to north, without cutting my nose. It seemed logical to me that you can cut hair two different ways. Move the razor, or move the hair. So here's how I do it. I place the blade almost flat right at the top of my lip, and roll the lip down over my teeth, pushing the hair through the blade. This cuts about half way up so I then move the blade up a little and do it again. I do this all the way across my upper lip and end up with a really smooth shave there.

Hope this helps.
