    Default Second pass Qestion

    I think im doing quite well and now starting to remember how i hold my razor for the different parts of my face. I need to ask a question about doing my neck on the second pass, i go up to my chin on this pass, I straighten the razor and use my left hand to go up on my right side then change over side/hand.
    Now my question is about holding the razor in this 'grip' (eek i mean gentle hold) , do you have your four fingers on the inside and thumb on the top ? or four fingers on the top and your thumb on the inside?

    I hope this makes sense, ive tried both ways and i seem to prefer four fingers on the inside.

    Cheers MW.

    More,

    Like most of the grips done atg, there's an adaptation of the shaver to several grips for odd strokes. I've used 3,4,5,8 and 10 of these variations.

    You'll likely find a couple more comfortable and confident than others. Go with the one that feels comfortable and confident until you wish to experiment more.
