    Always good to put a face to a name. I enjoy Gary's posts but don't really see him around much anymore.

    I wonder how long has Gary been shaving with a SR, it looks so easy when he does it! May be one day I'll manage too!

    Thank you Snuff for the link, it's very encouraging to see what practice and dedication can achieve!

    I've got some pretty sharp blades, but his first pass is about as smooth as my third. Like a hot knife thru butter. A great video.

    He has a great light touch and it looks like he KNOWS his razor is perfectly sharp and will slice right through the beard.I got a new TI Super Gnome , honed by Lynn the other day and my shave felt like that,that a hot knife through butter. Today's , with no stropping( to see how it would hold up) was not so nice. When the blade is right and one know's their angles it looks like that. thanks for posting. I like to study others techniques.

    He uses a really steep angle, it looks like. Shaves as well as he hones from the vids I've seen of him.
