Thread: Moving forward, a few questions: razors & technique?

Gary, on some of it there is no 'right' or wrong. Just a matter of choice. When I used to shave with a DE I never used the same one all of the time. Since beginning with straights over a year ago I have never gone back to a DE nor have I shaved with the same straight more then once in a week or more. Merely my personal preference. OTOH, using a straight day after day has undoubtedly helped me to improve my technique. Practice makes perfect.

The chin is a known tough spot for most of us. I have learned to take my thumb and forefinger in a U shape and place them on either side of my chin and stretch towards my ears. This helps tighten it up and I go one way and then the other with buffing strokes. If you want to avoid cuts read my sig and do what it says. Works for me.
