Keep in mind that straight shaving gives you a completely customized shave. So try to treat it that way. When you're done with your shave, feel around for the rough spots you missed. Take ONE of those areas and think hard about how you can get it clean. Think about you ATG pass for that area and what angle the razor needs to attack from to accomplish that. Think about how you will need to hold the razor in order to do it. Now go to work on that spot in your next shave. If you nail it, move to the next spot that needs help. Later think about the sequence in which you will string these events together. It's a step by step process toward that customized shave. So take it one step at a time. Where you begin is your choice.
Thanks Ryan for those points I must admit my 2nd pass is so much easier than the 1st and the cynic in me wondered whether some of the videos were "set up" ie there was nothing there to shave off!
It's come to the point where I normally only do a 2 pass shave unless I have a weeks worth of growth. I have to agree with Ryan and the others where I wonder about some of these shave vids. Some of them make me wonder if they even have to shave to begin with..just a bit of "fluff" there and it looks sooo easy..lol.
It takes good while but u get better shaved with short multi strokes while stretching face a little different while making those strokes. Now doing that quick is challenging. But it comes to ya with experience.
Yes, the shaving vids, the sparse beards, the big fat faces, and there is the famous, "Willi" (??), who is / was a member of this site.
This video has had many titles, I'ts been posted here before, but it is a shaving video of a bearded thin man, str8 shaving. Now the title I saw it under was, "The Manliest Shave Ever", and the first time I saw it, I thought he was going to use the big knife hanging on the kitchen wall:
The Manliest Shave Ever!! - YouTube
I still love this video!
Enjoy!
Reminds me of when I was twenty.
