They may be entertaining and funny, but you can see how other folks shave, hold their razors, angle the blade, etc. It is instructional what to do and not to do. Some of these guys are new at shaving, they stated so in the video. Give a guy a straight razor and he becomes a master shaver. It took me two years of daily shaving just to stop from butchering my face and I don't know how long to stop the bleeding. Keep on shaving and keep a good supply of toilet paper on hand both for your face and razor. Juan

Yeah Juan, some of those vids are a blast to watch. My favorite is the Englishman knocking back a bottle of whisky while shaving as fast as he can.

i'm tempted to post a video just to receive some constructive criticism.. although.. i'm afraid of coming off as a preb.

Never know till you try

Perhaps SRP should have a post your shaving video forum. Our grandfathers probably learned to shave by watching their fathers. All my male ancestors are long dead and my father didn't use a straight. A well made video using really good technique would be a useful teaching tool. I know that such a forum would be of great help to me.

Are you talking about "johnnytastetest"? I watch that vid a couple times a month just for the music. Great song!

I agree with you. Too bad our male ancestors are no longer around, I still have a lot of questions to ask them. One thing is to view a picture of shaving in a book and another to see a real expert shaving in a close shot video. I hate to say this, but I would not try some of the maneuver I have seen in these videos, I am not that brave. Juan

i just don't want to end up posting a video and sounding like this guy.
