Lifting between strokes brings with it no more danger than any other method, in well practiced hands. In fact, I would contend that it is the longer strokes that pose a greater risk to digging in, changes in pressure etc etc.

I feel confident in saying this because I use both short and long strokes when I shave. Short strokes mainly on the face, long strokes mainly on the head. I have videos of both if you would care to watch them. They are posted here at srp, or you can search for the Jimbo-srp channel on YouTube. The two videos in question are titled head shave video and shaving routine. The are both crap videos, but they do show various stroke types and lengths if you can see them through the gloom....

Good luck to you.
