Even my WTG pass is mostly horizontal on the chin. But that is more or less in accordance with my growth pattern there. I need to update my beard map and see which strokes actually currently work best for me.@Guido75 Excellent advice. Even with this two(ish) pass pattern I've been doing I have kept horizontal strokes for the mustache, but stubbornly trying to go Northbound on the chin. Perhaps horizontal cannot be skipped in that area. Will experiment and see.
light razor and pressure
paxlovid
Lightness is the Truth.
Perhaps the very weighty SS Timeless is teaching me particular lessons on the pressure/lightness subject.
That stuff is a trip, right??
Strokes screaming towards weightlessness.
My partner is feeling marginally improved today, better sleep last night.
lightness overcomes all obstacles
the uncanny feeling of bringing the blade to bear, while trying to almost hover it across the skin, hearing it cut without feeling it
have you read Oliver Sacks?
I think it’s exactly that. Gap is not perse the defining factor. Take the R41 or Fatip: almost no gap but I wouldn’t call these mild razors.the less-positive GameChanger responds more reluctantly to lightness, or is more forgiving of pressure.
finer soaps
I should have saidfiner soaps
Because we all know Arko is in a category of its own.so-called """finer soaps"""
Probably gonna huff some ARKO! before my next shave.
thinner first-pass lather
I removed more whiskers when I was reshaving areas without lather, using only the residual slickness. The beginner's mantra of "only shave where there's lather" is not as rigid of a rule, when better technique and lightness are successfully implemented.
