Shaving directions............
Attachment 169115
With the razors i master i usually go another direction opposite to de second in the picture. Just enough pressure on the razor allows me to do that.
I don't like the way hat the second picture seems to suggest going into a slicing motion. I'm sure it assumes that you'll change the blade orientation, but for beginners, that's a dangerous graphic.
I am glad I did not learn to shave like this. The against the grain looks like you would not be able to see the razor on your neck. It even looks like his eyes are closed in the picture.
Different strokes for different folks ....... I shave with a slicing motion quite a bit. Not as that is depicted, but a slicing motion nonetheless.
I shave all right hand. Not everyone feels the need to swap hands. Nothing wrong with swapping hands, I tried it and it wasn't for me. The old YMMV.
Yeah that second graphic makes me cringe.. I use scything strokes on almost every stroke, except that last two when I edge the lines.. But that depiction could be way way way better...
