Starting With The Hard Bits

Like most when shaving, I normally start with the cheeks, then neck and chin and upper lip.

This morning I decided to reverse the progression for the first pass. Started with the upper lip, then chin and neck, finishing off with the cheeks. I was pleasantly surprised with my technique. I found that I was concentrating much better throughout my shave.

It must be a psychological thing, but it works for me.

I'm going to have to try that. Even if it's just the psychology of the change, it might freshen things up a bit.

Let us know what you find. This could be interesting.

Been there and done that. Many years ago I switched up just like you.

I eventually abandoned it as I came to the conclusion that letting the lather sit on the upper lip and chin softened them more and made them easier to shave.

Gotta figure it out for yourself though, many roads to Rome.
