Thread: Shaving someone else

No offense but most of the stuff you guys have said so far seems pretty obvious. I guess the things I have questions about are more specific like how to pull the skin taught and how to get the upper lip. What's the best way to get the neck valleys? You say that it's simpler in some ways but more difficult in others, but which ways is it difficult, easy, or even different?

I personally would have been more diplomatic...

I'm not trying to be mean, I'm just saying that when I was asking for tips I meant specific tips like "hold the skin like this when shaving this area" or "it's best to approach this area from this angle instead of that." I probably should have stated that in the first post.

My experience has only been on the receiving end of a straight shave. The barber did not make separate passes, but seemed to stretch the skin using his thumb and fingers, in effect opening them, he then shaved the area in between using strokes in different directions, in effect multiple passes in one go.
