This is going to seem really odd. But while I am shaving with my str8, I kind of pretend in my mind that I am making a video of myself shaving, and trying to explain to somebody what I am doing and why I am doing it.

This helps me to understand each stroke, why I am making it, and what value it adds to the overall shave. If I start each stroke that way, I find myself selecting the angle, position and the motion much more consistently.

I think I am improving my shave each and every day incrementally by doing this.

How about you?
