So I was standing in front of the mirror planning my shave and I thought I'm gonna try buffing, I have seen it mentioned and I have read on it, but never tried it for fear o damaging me.

So I gave two passes, one WTG and one XTG and usually this is where I would stop, so I relather and get into the ATG with a buffing.

The outcome.

I am impressed, not as close as I had expected and I attribute this partly to nerve and the fact my skin wasn't as taught as I'd like. It's not a pass I would use on a daily basis as it seems a little harsher than I'm used to, but it wasn't an unenjoyable shave and for those days/evenings where only a close shave will do i'll likely break it out.

So for me buffing is a tool I plan on keeping in my box for when I need it, maybe break it out for a practice now and then
