Thread: Face stretching, not just for the wrinkly mugs.

Evening gents. Even though all the video's and FAQ's and senior members on here all extol the value of proper face stretching while shaving, I never did it much.
I guess part of me figured grimacing and sticking out my chin were enough as I have fairly taut skin still.
Well, tonight I was using a #14, wider blade, and I thought, no, I need a bit more control tonight.
So I held my sideburns for the WTG and my neck for the ATG passes.
Sometimes, prior to tonight's shave, the razor would skip a bit on my up strokes, almost wrinkling the skin a bit on the way up. Didn't want that to happen with a new razor. Does not happen when you face stretch at all.
The shave was much closer, the alum lit my face up post shave and I was really BBS in both directions..
So I guess this is just to share my own stubbornness, and delayed break through in wet shaving.
Mentors and mod's, thank you for being clear about the value of it. Wish I thought that was as important as all the other aspects of this way of shaving when I started. It is.
Always learning.
Thanks.
