Thread: At what point did your shaves improve?

Good question, Ncraigtrn: I was using WTG as a North to South pass (from cheekbone to collar); and, ATG, as a South to North pass (collar to cheekbone). It's the exact opposite of what my expectations of ease would be, and much of the experience gleaned from this Forum. My breakthrough was to embrace something I learned on this forum (can't remember from whom), "The correct technique is the one that works." Why it works, I think is that the hair on my face grows in kind of a swirl pattern, no straight grain, same for my neck.

Cheers,
