What is it with shaving 3 day stubble
Why is it if I wait 3 or four days till I am looking really shaggy the shave goes incredibly smooth.
1 pass ATG BBS without much touchups or overlapping.
I know it is observed by others but anyone ever run across the topic in old Barber's Manuals or lore or just what's up with that?
It is too much fun shaving now to deliberately stretch a shave 3 days.....I miss too much time with my blade.

Perhaps when the stubble is short the blade can escape through the end of the hair? A longer hair cannot allow this so it cuts instead.

I like that! "Urban Myth". Kinda like "rolling an edge" on a strop!!!!

If anyone has a doubt that rolling the edge is a myth, watch this old timer, who could teach most of us a thing or two, break EVERY stropping rule in the book and he obviously gets great edges!
