Great meetup guys. Watching you do the shave it occurs to me that must be much more difficult to achieve than I first thought. Without the feedback from the razor on your own face keeping the right angle and pressure must require super barber senses. The angles are all REVERSED too, more like stropping on his face than shaving your own.
Good job.
Good job.
Wow Rich, Thank you so much
Thanks Chris, much appreicated
Thanks Chris, and yes it is angles stroke and feedback are different for sure, however sound is the biggest ally, and a good pre-shave consultation and beard mapping helps immensely. Spacial awareness is the biggie and a supper light touch. Thanks for watching. It is akin to being a pilot, and then thinking that you will be awesome flying an RC plane. Takes a tons of practice. Left in a cockpit is actual right when an RC plane is coming right at you. So in the same sense you have to re-program your brain. BTW congrats on 1K

Just getting caught up -
Wow, two sharp looking Cadre members, and a young one too!
The shave video is pretty amazing, how long does it take in real time? That just looks like an incredibly relaxing experience, like a spa trip almost.
I visited a traditional barber while in CA a couple of weeks back, just for a clipper cut, and it was super relaxing. My barber here gives much more basic service, and after my cut in CA, feel that we need to up the standard here.
