Thread: A one pass shave

Not me.

I took up straight razor shaving because I wanted to learn a centuries-old skill but also because I wanted to experience a level of closeness and comfort in my shaves that cannot be surpassed by any other razor.

None of the above is compatible with a single pass shave.

The closest for me would be a two-pass shave in the evening after an early start (and shave) in the morning to make myself presentable for a special occasion.

Here's a video, single pass, several weeks of growth, GD66 razor.

Thanks. I’m taking plenty of time with just one pass.
