I watched a few YouTube shavers while I was learning to straight razor shave and it was quite frustrating as the most difficult areas for me to learn were the chin and jaw and top lip especially atg.
Yet I found about 95% of the YouTube shavers I watched had goatees and as such completely avoided this area. Of those that did shave these areas only one or two went atg there.
Are goatees more common among straight razor users that the general population? Are they grown because we all love Marvin Hagler or is it that it’s too much of a nuisance NOT to have a goatee when using a straight? For me the whole point of a straight (or any razor) is a desire to get a great all over shave, wouldn’t it be ironic if that Very desire led to one needing a beard?
