My first thoughts on the sound I hear when shaving was an indication of sharpness. Now I've learned the sound comes from different razors at different levels and the volume has nothing to do with sharpenss. I still like hearing it though. Sometimes I can shave and when I'm done I'll rub my face or neck and feel spots that still have stubble. I can re-shave that spot and then it's smooth. The thing is when I use the Dovo from SRD which is the loudest razor I have I can tell when the stubble is gone. If any stubble remains I can still hear the "knife on toast" sound. I like that. Just now noticing this in the past week or so. I don't know if this is a long-term method of knowing, or think I know, how close the shave is. Time will tell. The area I notice it most is on both sides of my neck. The whiskers there grow in a different direction I think. When I'm done shaving and rub my neck downward it feels smooth. But if I rub my neck up towards my jaw the stubble is easily felt. I haven't spent any time learning to shave ATG or XTG yet. It's very awkward feeling to shave up or sideways on my neck. Does anyone else have any thoughts on the sound being an indicator of smoothness?
