Indeed my friend, I have really dark beard and despite getting really close shave, the hair shadow is still seen

The only good thing is, is that so we can shave every day

Nonetheless, I suppose that, while the technique seems to work well for him, that steep of an angle would not be common for most people. Good catch!

Hi guys !!
In my case, I do well in this way.
Every day I'm experimenting and trying and finally I stick with what best works for me
However, depending on the razor I can change the angle to one that I do better.

Hi Bob
I works great that angle, otherwise I would not use
As for the music, in this case I wanted to bypass it so you could hear the wonderful sound of the blade to cut the hairs

Didn't you hear the Bismarck sing?

Don't get me wrong, I am sure it works for you, obviously, but that it is rather unusual and from what I have read is generally not recommended. Everyone has their own style that works for them. Had to turn the volume up louder than usual and finally heard the "singing".

Hi Bob,
Check out my other videos and you will see how to use different angles according to the razor
