Professional shave results.
So I have returned. The guy I went to is a professional Barber, says he does about 10 straight shaves a week, at least. He was using a disposable razor, no name brand, with, oh shoot I forget the brand of blade. Began with a P.
He did the whole prep thing, hot towel, lather, hot towel again.
I noticed that the drag across the face was definitely harder than when I shave myself.
The results are definitely not as good as my own, after 3 passes, (he only did one). Probably my first pass is a little better than his, at least in some areas. I can get my cheeks real close to BBS in one pass, the chin and jawline takes at least 2, and the neck I am still working on.
The rawness and tenderness I have had in the past after my shaves has been getting better over time. The other night I was even doing pass after pass on my neck trying to get to BBS, and still I never got real raw.
Today's shave didn't get me too raw eaither.
So I feel good about the progress I have made so far. It's good to know I can do as well if not better than a pro. (I know, I know, one pro is not necessarily a good indicator of what is possible, but hey, I can't afford to try every guy in town.)
