Indeed...and that my good fellow ,is what separates us straight shavers from the cartridge kids.No one ever said is was necessarily easy,but the reward is oh so much more fulfilling . I should also point out that I myself have not mastered all of these styles,but It does give a nice challenge to look forward to. Most folks don't even think about it when cartridge shaving. Hmmm makes me wonder.Do you suppose straight shavers on a whole are a more conscious type of folk than their cartridge counterparts whom I suspect are more just go,go,go, and damn the consequences ?
so much more fulfilling.. makes shaping a beard an art form.
