    I can't say I've ever done it, but since every face is different, it stands to reason that everyone would have a bit of a different technique.

    Looks like an interresting trick. Do you have essential tremor?
    I sometime hold the scales with my other hand to keep the motion steady on tricky parts.

    I use it all the time..with a SE or DE. I found that it does not work at all for me with a straight. Then..I haven't been using a straight for 60 years either.
    If it works, it is not dumb!

    I can't say that I've done this either, but it almost sounds like you're replicating a scything stroke. Hard to tell by the description alone....

    I trust the fine motor skills of my hand far more than those of my neck, so not for me
    In fact, it soulds a little dangerous to me... Be careful please

    I do not. I had a service related severe cold weather injury to my hands a few years ago. It looks fine, but it never fully healed.
