Scarry shave video
I stumbled on this video while searching for info on a couple new razors I aquired. As the title states this video scares the hell outta me. Especially when the guy goes atg, what is his skin made from steel?

What scares me is not the sound...but the blade angle

My best guess is that his angle of hair growth determines the angle of his blade.
My beard grows almost flat to my face and curls in toward the skin to boot. (Yes... Lots of ingrown hairs if i try to shave with a modern pull and cut type razor) Add that to a few swirl spot on my neck and my angle of cut with a straight gets pretty hairy at times, or so to speak.
The big trick is pressure! A light touch is absolutely necessary.

Curious
One has to wonder what sort of edge he has on the Str8 if he has to make so many aggressive passes with it at that almost perpendicular angle and then finish with a DE.

It looks like he's using a 45deg blade angle.

He appears to be a reasonably proficient straight razor user - he certainly knows a good razor when he sees one! Sometimes video can make the angles look steeper than what they actually are, and sometimes proficient users do in fact use steeper angles than are recommended. In the end it is whatever works for you, and clearly this is what works for him.
