Signature Shaving Move

[August West]

What quirky little thing do you do during your shave that you are convinced is your signature shaving move? Mine is a delicate chop on a profoundly wiry whisker high on my right cheekbone.

I have one of those stray hairs on my upper left cheek, uncomfortably close to the bottom of my eye. But I shave it anyway .

Dunno if it's quirky, but I've slowly introduced (over years)
the Gillette slide into all strokes, WTG to ATG.
Do it with DE, SE, injectors, but not quite Feather AC. Getting there.
Saved me a bundle on buying slants.

I refuse to pluck.

Yep, lol.

Start 3 passes.... WTG, 2 x XTG. My cleanup pass is an upwards diagonal j-stroke. I hate ATG passes.

But the quirkiest thing I do, is that I’ll occasionally run my XTG pass across my top and bottom lips on the same stroke.

Never heard of that one before.

I am a strictly missionary-style straight shaver, of course, nothing quirky at all.

We don't do any of that Westcott funkiness in these parts.

@Spider’s is the only legit quirky move, has to be seen to be believed.

I just tend to experiment a lot, so don‘t really have any signature moves, unless randomness is one.

I go ATG on the front jaw line during my second XTG pass. I don't know why, I just hit it early.

These are great.

If I told you...I would have to kill you!

Seriously though...I have a tuft of hair that grows on the tip of my nose...yup...I do a contour shave of that area.

I do the "slide" on a quasi ATG pass on my cheeks to lower jawline. That is where a good blade & top tier soap matter.

My Peculiar Shave Techniques (moves):
I am a complete and total "against the grain" shaver right out of the gate, on the second pass, and in the final stretch touch-up round!
Yep, I shave exclusively UPWARDS, from "south to north", from "bottom to top", or from "low elevation to high elevation", or whatever you wish to call it!
It just works for me!
... and above the upper lip, it facilitates getting all those unwanted, low-hanging, nose hairs! CAN'T have those now can we?
... and on the sideburns, it allows me to get right up and under the southern "cut-off" point so that there are NO stray wiskers below the bottom of the sideburn! UNTHINKABLE!
We all have our things, don't we?
Cheers!
