Thread: How can I shave my own head with a straight razor?

That's an interesting approach initially MrShavedHead. It looks as though you are actually using a 150 degree shaving angle. Or, in other words, you are using an angle that one would typically use with a stroke going from the forehead to the crown of your head. But instead you are going from crown to forehead in a scraping motion.

In the latter part of the video it looks like you are using a more typical stroke.

I think to get the best from the straight shave you should avoid the first kind of stroke - I am amazed it actually took hair off!
