You have to be a master to pull this off this ending

I lost quite a few teeth as my jaw hit the floor.

Makes me think I'm *waaay* too gentle with my razors, I'm trying to minimize pressure but he's slapping those things down on both hones and strops/hands with some force (you can hear it on the blade side).

Seems like most of the videos I see from the "pros" are like that, am I right to be a little suspicious of the "weight of the razor" technique?

I think you have to be a little more relative regarding the sound of the slapping. In other words, listen how loud the razor sounds as he shaves his face. Everything you are hearing is way louder than you think.

That video gives me some serious straight razor envy.

I finally got around to looking at that. Wow!
Everything in it horrified me.
I'm not doubting for a nanosecond that he knows PRECISELY what he is doing, but I am never going to try anything he did in that video!
