    Default ATG Angle for the Newbs

    Hey fellow Newbs. The ones like me that were having trouble with ATG shaving. Remember this diagram from the Wiki?

    See that blade angle for ATG? 5 degrees right? That is almost flat against the skin while taking that ATG pass. I finally got that today and my ATG pass was awsome. Start with the blade flat against the skin and lift ever so slightly as you take that pass. Here is the problem. If your angle is too steep, you will need more pressure to make the cut. More pressure = tearing the hell out of your face. The angle is EXTREMELY important to getting the pressure correct.

    And by the way, look at that XTG angle as well. 15 degrees isn't much either.

    Good luck,

    David
