Thread: Advanced shave technique: or is it?

Hello Sandy - I do much the same, and I'm sure I have seen Harry H Corbet ("Harold" in Stepto & Son) doing this in one of the 1970s episodes of Steptoe.

Regards,

The way I get around it is by doing one of a few things. Either doing a regular WTG pass first, meaning the skin is lubricated but clear of lather. Other ways of addressing the problem could involve using a shaving oil, though that has similar risks I guess. Finally it could be done a bit at a time. TBH I dont know exactly how I do it, I just do. Next time I shave i'll see if I can get it recorded.

Quick-

The facial conortions still serve me well in places: jawline and chin in particular. But this seemed to be something that meant there was no need for contortions on my cheeks.

HAHA!! You rule Sandy!

I tried it this morning BTW (look for my lovely picture of today's gear in SOTD soon). It was hard to get my brain to want to use that technique. Ever since my first shave I've shaved WTG on both sides (under my sideburns), and not needed to do more than one pass. The method you show worked fine, but it seemed more cumbersome than I need personally. I can take a longer pass, and still get BBS in that area WTG. Obviously YMMV.

Wait, i'm confused. Did you try the technique? Did it help you? Are you being sarcastic? Are you laughing at our joke?

So confused.

I did try it. It did work. It was just odd. Tough getting my brain to reverse the technique I've been so comfortable using.

I was laughing at your comment left for me:

I used the technique again this morning. Didnt get a chance to film it but I did take note of how I did it. X- I do a first regular WTG pas and then when my skin is lubricated with residual soap and water but NOT covered in any lather I then do it.

I have also adapted the technique to do a XTG pass. I simply turned everything 90 degrees.
