    Default Shaving guide

    You might have a look at these:

    RazorCentral - Home of the straight razor

    There's a reference to a couple of "Barber's Manuals"
    around here someplace, but I can't find them now.

    Maybe someone else has the url.

    Good luck!

    There are several members who do this maybe they will chime in. I know we have a barber or two here also. Basically it's just a matter if practice and a willing victim. To me, shaving is done with alot of feel and feedback and you don't get that when you shave another.

    Without a barbers chair it can be a pain continually getting the correct position and height and all that.

    I shave other people everyday at work. Its easier than shaving yourself, I feel. Easier to keep that 30 degree angle. You just have to watch your pressure, because your not able to feel it. If the skin sinks in a little where the edge is your pressing to hard. Stretch the skin ALWAYS..... Light and tight. Light (pressure) and tight (skin).
