Thread: Razor Angle

I agree with fccexpert and others who think this is too much analysis. Maybe it's because I was never very good at geometry but if I had to analyze every angle of every pass in every shave, I'd probably go back to disposables. I just do what I've found works for me.

I think starting a stroke with the razor flat on the face and slowly increasing the angle until one finds the best angle (for that particular stroke) is good starting advice. It doesn't require any protractors and I think it helps train one to practice by feel rather than formula
