Very good instructional video for those starting out into the gentlemanly art of straight razor shaving. I have been SR shaving daily for almost 5 years and now teach traditional straight razor shaving at a local men's club. Nineteen students have "graduated" with 15 of them sticking with it.
Very nice video for beginning straight shavers. Simple and concise. Something I could never do. I would suggest that beginners *not* chase a BBS shave. Often that chase leads to high angles, too much pressure, cuts, and irritation. If one works on technique and comfort, BBS will come. Finally, a very wet, slick lather does help.
Great video! It's very true that everyone has to find their own way of shaving with a straight razor. So much about shaving is not about what's good or bad but rather about preference. I've thought about the way you hold the blade. Have you ever tried a kamisori?
Thanks! I used to own a traditional kamisori. I thought it was a bit boring soo I sold it. I think I stropped it incorrectly and thereby made it dull. Do you own one?
