    ATG as far as I remember is, you got the hands correct Angles, but you start at the neck and go up towards the jaw line.

    I think what you're describing and Outback is demonstrating is more a XTG or a scything stroke.

    Here's a video of a pro, this is the video that got me into straight razor shaving, he used to be a member here as well.

    6 years on, and I still love this video. When I saw the title, I thought at first he was going to shave with the butcher knife in the rack on the kitchen wall....:-)

    I also learned a lot from watching this video a few hundred times when I started.

    Behold the Master....his second pass, on the neck that's against the grain, and then when he lather up the second time, that's all ATG and XTG.
