I've already heard of this technique.
My roommate once went to a barber school and that's how they all learned (before practicing on people).

I think this technique is not well known for us wet shavers because you mostly learn how to shave another face, not yours.
You may learn what to do and not to do (angle, pressure...) on a "face", but not on your face, so you don't develop the relevant muscle memory.
