Nice group photo @Seveneighth. I have also wondered how some people appear to shave with the SS held at a very steep angle on certain areas of their face. I assumed they have a very light touch and not really riding the lip (at least not as it was designed) but just touching it ever so lightly. But since I have never used an SS my opinion means little.
I’ve toyed with doing it once I saw Geofatboy do it in his SS instructionals. It’s actually easier than it looks and is quite helpful in some spots.
