I personally use this technique when I am doing my final or touch-up because if I hit a hard hair or bump I will get a slice. Am I not doing it correctly? I am surely getting some kick ass shaves with it. I got Lynn's DVD a while back I guess I need to check it out because I read somewhere that he covers it.
