I've been straight razor shaving for over a year, but today was the first time I tried to shave someone other than myself and boy was it different. Having purchased a barber chair a few months ago, I wanted to try the whole shebang. Giving someone the hot towel treatment, lather them up and shave them! My brother was to be my victim and I was surprised at how many of my passes I use in the mirror didn't work with someone on a reclined barber chair horizontal to the gound. It was just like starting over again trying to figure out which was the best way to attack certain areas of the face. One small weeper later, my brother had a pretty poor shave if I do say so myself. It reminded me of the shaves I used to give myself when I first started with a straight. It will certainly take some practice to get better at this! Can I get him back in the chair? We will see...
