Hey, that's all about the razor! hahaha
Seriously, this absolutely top notch, chaps. I think I will set this as a home page and watch it every day.

:
I can't believe the ease with which you go ATG, Gary. And that with hardly any stretching! Since I have never shaved any other growth than mine, I have a question - have you ever had a customer, where the razor would just stall during an ATG pass? I'm just ever wondering, whether it's the technique, prep, or what. No matter how much time I spend with lather on my face, no matter how much I try to squeeze everything out during honing - the stubble keeps on resisting so hard, that if I don't stretch enough, the skin will, errm, bend, fold, well move along with the razor, I hope you get it. I could never do such long strokes as you did there. I am working on reducing pressure, that seems to help things a little, though.
cheers,
Matt
