Yes.So is this just for the upper lip?

Nah, not crazy, I think it's common to not hear about it as being something to avoid - I'd never heard fools pass before.Maybe I'm crazy. I'm still counting my shaves and will continue to do so until I hit 100.
I'm. At 35 now. And I've done the fool's pass, after 1-2 WTG passes, for 5 of them.
I have to do it with 2 hands. I started with a combo of moving my head and razor but I'm moving my head less each time.
It's a challenge. But it's by no means an insurmountable one. It's also the only way I can get the upper lip the way I want it.
Yeah. I hear what you're saying. Except I wondered if I was crazy for starting it so soon instead of after 100 shaves or so.Nah, not crazy, I think it's common to not hear about it as being something to avoid - I'd never heard fools pass before.
Though, I knew from the name alone what must be getting referenced when I saw the post because it's kinda clearly one of the trickiest parts to do. You knew it was tricky which is why you haven't done it most of your shaves. We all let our comfort and patience guide us, and that's not crazy, it's the best way to do something you may potentially injure yourself doing - straight shaving
A CdM (a.k.a. fool's pass) is an ATG pass on the upper lip. Most mustaches grow N-S, hence most CdMs are S-N.Does a fool's pass have to be S-N, or ATG?
What you need is a SR with an edge as keen as or better than some of the keenest DE blades out there.
How long does that edge last them? Just curious.Yea, you need a keen edge, keener than most folks can handle.
I hone for a few guys with super tough, coarse beards, shave twice a day beards. They prefer an edge finished hone on 1um and .3um and stropped on .25 CBN.
It is way too keen for my face, but they love it. ATG should not be difficult, you need a keener edge.
