Thread: First Time

I found that a second mirror was completely unnecessary. It also "confused" my hand while looking in it. Reaching over the top of my head to stretch up for the cheek helped and also starting my sideburns stroke just far enough from my ear to know I won't nick it then making my second stroke close enough to get the rest of the side burn helped me locate where exactly the blade is on my face. I wear glasses and am blind as a mole without them. The angle at which I need to see what I'm doing next to my ear makes me look past the edge of my glasses so all I can see is a blur of steel and skin. Eventually your muscle memory will catch up to what you're seeing and make shaving much easier.

Watch the pressure and the angle, and enjoy.
