i have seen this videos before.. he does use some pretty aggressive angles at times.. some people can do that and not worry.. i can on my cheeks... not on my neck though.. i have a feeling he just has a light beard and tough skin..

also.. what's one handed about it?

as you become more experienced you can get a little more aggressive. The angles are probably very good, from the camera angle they may not look like it.

He holds the razor only in the dominant hand.

This is xman, you can pm him if you have a question.

Yes, it looked like he was shaving only with his one hand, at least in holding the razor. I have held it at a similar angle, but it was on the second pass of shaving, where the whiskers were mostly gone.

I like watcing Rasiermesser Rasur (3:49 video) of him shaving. He makes it look so easy. Is he German or Belgian?

Based on the image that does not look like a safety razor to me. Is this in the correct section?

Look at the top of the menu. It goes : Straight Raozr Place Forums > Shaving Techniques>>Shaving with a Straight Razor>> and then this thread.

First video: That's SRP member xman -- the angles usually look more aggressive on video than in real life, although you're probably right in this case about it being near-perpendicular for that spot on his chin. He's a seasoned vet and while we have guidelines for new shavers, at some point you understand how to maneuver the razor around your own face with minimal risk.

Second video: That's someone who joined SRP because of the video and his SRP nick is williheusser. There was a thread originally about his video and he hopped in and explained some things starting with this post. He's Swiss.
