I'm not sure how much difference this actually makes or how much is just personal ritual and it is all in my so called brain. Bottom line is I notice the difference if I do it differently. Since shaving is such a personal issue it come down to what really makes it enjoyable for you.
Hope this rambling makes sense:o
