Thread: Shaving one handed

I don't know guys... I've re-looked at the part 2 video again, and at time stamp 25, 29 and then ESPECIALLY at time 00:33 into the video, he has that razor edge about as close to 90 degrees to the underneath of his chin as one could imagine. Some say camera trick, but the rest of the face looks normal. I also notice the way the spine is in relation to his face and the scales part where they are, as angle. The scales will always be perpendicular to the blade, they don't change. There are some at 60 degrees, but at those time stamps, it sure looks to be pretty steep angle.

At about 00:37 to 00:39 capture

In true NCIS fashion, you found the exact photo frame that proves your point! I love it!

Yeah, from that snapshot, the angle does look pretty steep! Wouldn't a steep angle like that simply have more PULL when cutting the hair (ie scraping) more than anything else?

That's perpendicular for sure, and is indeed a scraping motion. You would likely bend the edge right over doing that with a full hollow, but with a wedge (which is what X-man is using) it may possible be different? I don't know as I have never used an extreme angle with any razor.

Perhaps X will chime in regarding his shaving technique and put this to rest....

It sure proves he's using very little in the pressure department.
