    IT took me a couple of years to get to scything fore, aft ..... whatever. I do it slick as a whistle now and more often than not can and do get one pass + touchup with that stroke. I don't post about it because I consider it a very advanced method. If the blade angle and pressure ain't right you can cut yourself in a hurry. The thing is that the razor isn't scraping the whiskers off as if you were removing ice from your windshield. Rather you're skimming over the skin cutting/slicing the whiskers. Just IMHO.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
