Hi,

Been thinking about the 30 degree shave angle for WTG passes which I appreciate is the received wisdom for some good reasons.
I have been experimenting with this and evaluating results of different angles on various parts of the face. If my calculations are correct the distance from the spine centerline should be about 10mm for a 6/8 from the skin surface being shaved and 12mm for my 7/8.
This does not seem much to me and feels a little short of the sweet spot when I have been very conscious of maintainig this angle. Also I find the pass leaves more whiskers than when I just shave intuitivley.
I would however say that I experience no irritation at all when being disciplined about this 30 degrees and can mop up the stray whiskers on subsequent passes. When I have watched videos of shaving some of the strokes appear to me significantly greater than the 30 degrees also.
I know this aint an exact science and there are many variables involved. Apologies if this seems a bit pedantic, however I'm eager to hear any thoughts and opinions in this aspect, after all I'm about refining my aproach to enjoy the shaving moments.
