blade buffing with a straight?

**zenshaver** · 09-16-2008, 03:00 PM

I was wondering what people think of this. I tried it last night on my chin and it worked pretty good.

Yeah I use a little buffing on my neck, on the hollows by my adams apple if I want a perfect BBS there...

It works pretty good. My chin is the hardest part to get BBS last night I tried that and it got me pretty close.

I suppose if your razor was real sharp you would have to be careful though.I found a new technique (from DE shaving) I can use.

I've been blade buffing for quite some time now. Works great!

The problem is that sometimes I get lazy and don't re-apply water before buffing, and that leads to increased irritation.

If you have a good amount of water on there, or apply some shave oil, the razor glides right along...

last nights shave was great with no irritation at all.

**hoglahoo** · 09-16-2008, 04:38 PM

so is it simply really short strokes passing over the same area several times? is extra pressure applied? I guess I'll be experimenting tomorrow morning

I didn't apply anymore pressure than usual. Be careful though.
