Thread: Straight Razors for beard shaping?

I was out running around town and was thinking that one aspect of using a SR for lining facial hair that we haven't mentioned is that to get the really straight lines you have to do the strokes without stretching the skin.. If you stretch the skin then you often do not get a straight line and you start chasing it.. Also you want the lines to be straight on your face in your relaxed state...

Like I said above (post #2) we tend to do things "Wrong" when compared to a normal SR shaver

I have a stach and a lot of the time Ill do my final trims around it with just water as well so I can see the edge Im trying to achieve, don't get much razor burn pooping a dozen hairs carefully!

Here. I have recreated many of these with a straight razor and plan on doing all of them at some point.
