BTW his facial hair is quite thin, i must say that mine is thicker than his but only on the chin/neck area and the area between my cheeks/chin which is the most sensitive. i also noticed that he does TWO WTG passes on his stache, probably because its all he needs. the least amount of hair growth on my face is my stache (upper lip) so i think i will sort of copy his routine. (but no XTG or ATG passes til i master the two WTG passes).

    Just in case you were not aware, that's the guy who told you to stick to your M3 and stay away from straights.

    Certainly, there is no reason for you not to be able to shave as smoothly as Joel in the video. But that takes time, practice and technique, more than just the instrument. There is no magic with straights, a particular brand, SS vs carbon steel - they will all give you a good smooth shave with patience and perseverance. Enjoy the ride!
