Different technique for different beard growth?
Today I decided to shave, the last shave was on Christmas day...so a 2 days beard.
The past four shaves I did the following:
- wash face with soap and warm water,
- apply Proraso pre-shave,
- face lathered with Palmolive Classic cream (the Italian red tube) and Proraso brush
- Gillette Tech with Elios blade (new blade every time)
- 3-pass shave
- WTG above jawline/ ATG below jawline
- ATG above jawline/ XTG (nose-to-ear) at the jawline/ XTG (from right ear to left ear) below the jawline
- XTG (from left ear to right ear) below jawline
BBS, no nicks, no weepers, almost no irritation every time
Today I used the same "ritual" and I got the same results above the jawline but I had to stop at DFS below the jawline because my neck was a minefield of weepers.
The only thing different from the previous shaves is that today I had a 2 days worth of beard when usually I shave with a 4-or-above days beard.
Do you use a different technique when you need to shave a 1, 2, 3-or-above days worth of beard?
Sorry for the long post.
TL;DR: 2 days beard, horrible shave....4-or-above days beard, excellent shave. Need to use different technique?
