Thanks for posting that Chimensch video,
@woodpusher !
I watched that when I first started SR shaving and thought, wow, that fellow is so confident with the straight.
It wasn't until I watched
@BarberDave shave yesterday on the SR Workshop and then
rewatched the Chimensch video that I realized how much technique was in those shaves.
On a side note, if you're thinking about SR shaving, just starting SR shaving, or have been SR shaving for years, go and watch BarberDave's series of videos on SR shaving on the Shaving Cadre YouTube channel! It is chock full of good information as well as basic and advanced techniques. Whether you use just a few of the suggestions, or many of them, it is well worth your time. I wish I had seen these when I first started with the straight, as it would have saved me a lot of time.
BarberDave, one thing I noticed on the Chimensch video is how much 'cross handed' shaving he did-many times he would shave the left side of his face with the right hand, and vice versa. I suppose it's all about what works for the individual shaver.
