something just occured to me. when i was a teenager and went to the babrber he would use a straight razor to shave my neck i remember he would put on the shaving cream and then before making a pass would wipe it off. is this a common technique? i dont do this and i didint think it odd at the time because i honestly didnt start shaving untill i entered basic training and havent really needed to shave every day until the last year or two so its been 11 years or so since that time and now its got me thinking....why did he do that? he is closed now and none of the other barbers in town shave with a razor anymore so i turn to the straight razor place to guide me
