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.
