Very Experienced Straight user

[bubbagates]

So I was on Thiers-Issard website a few minutes ago and looking at the 7 day sets and came across this video of a very experienced straight razor user that does a version of the fools pass.

I would love to find the same scuttle he is using and he has a cool idea for cleaning the straight.

Chimensch's video has been on this site for quite some time. It is a benchmark video

Fool's pass?

the fools pass going against the grain under the nose. Some rearranging can be done if you slip.

Too risky for me. I can get plenty close by going XTG.

They call it "fools pass" to scare people. Many of us shave ATG daily. I hold the blade with both hands when shaving the mustache area; never had a problem.

ATG on the upper lip is the only way for me to get BBS up there.

Aha. Thank you.

Another Fool's Pass practitioner here. It would take far too many WTG and XTG passes to achieve BBS in the moustache area...

I can get BBS on my upper lip with xtg passes but it hurts too much to go atg even with the Sharpest blades on my upper lip.
