Speed comes with confidence and trust in the razors edge to do the job it was designed for. Confidence in being able to navigate your face avoiding nasty obstacles like noses and ears. And a good edge will mow down whiskers no matter what length of stroke you employ, so long as you make the minute angle adjustments along the way.
I don't concern myself with BBS so much anymore. Yes I can achieve it, but no I don't find it necessary to be satisfied with the shave. It is, however a milestone for all cut-throat shavers to strive for, and extremely satisfying when you do. More so when you find you can do it at will.

I agree with everything you say here Mick. At the same time sometimes I like a bit of pressure, it's good to experiment and push boundaries. I also like a sting when I apply an AS at times, esp in Spring and Summer. It's refreshing. But I rotate HOW I shave as much as with what razor and with what soap, cream and after shave based on how I and my skin feel.

I think it took me a year to get good shaving with a straight, but there's always improvement.

I might shave my head for Movember.

Shaving my head with a cut throat (I've done it with a DE) for the first time might be interesting; that'd be a challenge as far as I'm concerned. I know a lot do it but for the first time I'm guessing you'd know (or not know) you have the FEEL down pat.

Well if I dont get the pie installed I have to get a visa every few years if I want to be able to leave and come back. The resident return visa is $300 or so, I have one of those, along with provisional and full residency, I just need to finish my citizenship to get the set, is that an AD?

No, whenever I hear tony abbort (phone error, but I will leave it in as it seems appropriate) I tune out.

I gave myself a haircut today (no I didn't shave my head, just clippers 1, 2 and 3 progression) and I usually shave the back of my neck with a cut-throat. Not always Just depends on my mood. So I don't see that shaving ones pate would be much more difficult.

Oh that's a bit harsh. I'm nowhere near as esoteric as Jimbo...

Call me Carl, Edhe Witt...
