most photogeneic shaving passes?

[gurana]

Going to set up a few shaving shots w/ DE and straight. What do you all consider the coolest/most interesting poses or passes of the act of shaving?

For instance, I've always been a fan of the ATG on the neck w/ a cartridge. For straights, I'm thinking a cross-handed xtg pass on the cheek moving toward the nose would be pretty good.

If you've done self portraits, or did photo shoots of others as they shave, what did you find worked the best?

Not really what you asked for but this has some pretty good shots or cartridges.

The legendary ear-to-chin stroke - wish you could do it, too?

For straight razors, how about a south to north stroke on the neck?

For straights, I'm thinking a cross-handed xtg pass on the cheek moving toward the nose would be pretty good.

I think that would be a great shot provided that the arm isn't in the way.

I like the Sweeney Todd Special, myself.

I was considering the ear-to-chin thing... I kind of do something like that in my xtg stroke from ear to chin, slight angle on the blade w/ DE and straight. That might be cool -- but like you said, I need to make sure that the arm is clear. I'm thinking I will have to do this w/ a pseudo studio set up. My bathroom isn't big enough to get a great angle from behind me without having the camera show up in the the shot.... hmmm... perhaps if I got a gorilla pod I might be able to work something out
