    Default Stretching the skin, how to do it ...

    Hi guys!

    I made a vid clip about how you can stretch your skin while shaving with a straight, for some guys over at theshavingroom.co.uk (we're having a lending pool for a straight there - Pass around straight (it's a go now - Swedish razor walkabout) ...). Anyhow, one of the guys said he never had seen a vid about how to stretch the skin before, so I thought that it maybe would be a good idea post it here as well.

    Some of my shaving moves I wouldn't recommend for newbies, or anyone else, since I've developed them for myself and even if they works for me, it's not sure they'll work for you

    Thanks for posting this, Mikael.
    It's always interesting to see how others do it and how it differs from my technique.
    Good job

    Thank you Havachat!

    I feel the same, when watching other peoples vids and sometimes you snatch something up that works out great for yourself and get a new routine

    Thank you for posting the vid. I wish I had seen it years ago. I do it basically the same way, but it has taken me two years of experimenting to get there.

    This should be in the newbies wiki.

    Shave on.
