Maybe you guys can give me some pointers...
I've got thick, dark beard hair that grows pretty fast. I get my shadow by lunch time and by the next morning I can probably sand fine scratches off the back of the shave brush on my face. When I shaved most of my life before straights I always shaved ATG and would be smooth for a couple hours.
I've got a boar brush since I read guys with thicker hair would benefit from the thicker bristles and their lifting power although I haven't really felt much of that. I would think that a softer badger brush would not improve my shave that much. But I digress...
So my question is this: Do you guys who have thick facial hair shave WTG and then ATG to get smooth or is WTG all you need?
