Shave with a wet face only

[navalha]

I was looking at youtube videos so I could learn a better way to shave with my TI. Then I stumbled upon this video. What are your thoughts?

The man does it well. For me . . . well I'll stick to doing some prep. I shave every day. . . I like comfort.

I've seen with my own eyes a guy push a nail through the palm of his hand.
Just because you CAN doesn't mean you SHOULD.

Impressive display. However, I think I will stick to using some prep and I just plain like the routine of lathering up my face... and the smells from the soaps or cremes, who wants to miss that?

I don't even want to know if I could do that... just not that curious.

If I am not going to use a shaving soap, I prefer to shave dry rather than just a wet face. It is not something I would want to do everyday, but I have done it for a very quick shave when I don't have the time. Don't expect BBS, but DFS is easily achievable. Blade really has to be sharp though and forget about going ATG.

That being said, if you don't have any experience with a straight, you should stick with a prepped face first

That must be one sharp blade! Or soft beard. Or both...

I couldn't do that even when I was using DEs or cartridges.

I used to do it, when I was younger, with cartridges sometimes.

Now I would not ever do it with a cartridge, if I was still using them, much less a DE... I can't imagine taking a raw straight knife to your face like that.
