I make lots of small strokes with 0 pressure. By the time I finish WTG I already know if the razor is sharp enough or not.

Using that technique, I never nick myself because I am not forcing the blade through the hairs. I kindly ask it to do a couple of hairs, and then I ask it to do the next hairs...

I have never cut myself that way except for now, where the point was getting in the way. A spanish point or even a spike or oblique would not have done this.
