Welcome to Your Bonus Straight Razors Edge Friday Special! Hey Eric here with
Adventures In Wet Shaving and welcome back it's good to see you in this Bonus
Straight Razor Edge Friday Special we're doing a Full Straight Razor Shave and this
is Pass One! Let's get to it we are using my Ace of Spades and this
is the number 49 excellent razor that is at least a full hollow
maybe extra hollow really good so now the first thing you need to do when your
straight razor shaving is you need to stretch okay and not over stretch but
stretch enough all right and when you stretch I reach over like that and then
I put that blade just like that right on my head flap and then I cock it up a
spine with off of my face and then that's gonna give me about the right
angle and what you're looking for is like a 20 to 30 degree angle on that
blade that will be your best shave so let's say 30 degrees or less all right
and I normally judge that by spine width off of my face and I'm blowing out my
cheek there to stretch
and here you can see how far that is off my face all right now get that speed
bump and now I'm going to stretch I'm going to pull that jaw line up and over
to my cheek
and then pull here and see what that does
now I shaved all the way down here just by pulling it up which really works out
quite nicely all right now we're going to go ahead and I'm going to go across
the grain on my chin because that works the best so it'll be across and then
this area here that'll be width with the grain this
will also be with the grain and i'm stretching here just by smiling
did you know Smiling is a exercise let me encourage you smile more people smile
back yes so you will now hear this blade is pretty much resting flat on my face
and that's kind of across there as well now the rest of this is pretty much
gonna be With The Grain and now what I'm doing here is I got my chin up as high
as I can do it I'm pulling down with my my hand on my neck as well
okay that's a little bit of cross right there that's with
all of that is with the grain as well now let me show you what I'm doing here
okay is and it's hard to get it in camera but I'm going to go ahead and be
doing this and clean it off that razor alright then I put that back down
normally I don't even have to lift it up that high but I can't get it on camera
any other way now for the mustache area you just come in pretty much at an angle
and then you rotate it like this like that
alright that's going to be the best way and then I'll show you another trick in
pass too
here I'm going straight down with you Greg
and now I'm bringing up my lip up over an teeth this is a trouble spot for me
all along there I have a scar yeah now we're gonna go ahead and clean
that off and now I have been remiss okay so I'm only getting from like here down
wet when I do this okay that's just the blade getting wet
that is not there's no water getting in this hinge pin here at all or from here
up all of this is dry just from here down I get wet alright so next and we
are going to switch hands alright now I know it seems counterintuitive to a
certain extent to switch hands however once you get used to it you'll be able
to get to more parts of your face easier and better with your own hand alright so
this is my off hand let's do this again we're gonna stretch but not overly
okay that angle 30 degrees or less and now this is very gentle light touch
that's all you need if you have to bear down on this razor it is not sharp
enough all right so don't do it don't use it like a cartridge razor this is
very gentle light touch and that was with the green for me now we're going to
pull this up and over that jawline just like that
there we go nice now see when I'm doing this I'm only getting the blade not from
here up that doesn't get wet at all all right and then I just wipe that off and
directly we're in business again alright so now again I'm it with my left
hand and we're gonna do this alright there you go
pass one complete and you can see that even with a big fifteen sixteenths play
this is really not a problem okay so if you're using something smaller or have
been thinking about it you could always start I wouldn't go any smaller than six
eight but I know a lot of people that start with by base plates as well now
we're gonna go ahead get that rinsed off
alright nice now that looks pretty good right I think so however I can feel it
what we're doing with a straight razor is we are going to do multiple passes
okay and each time we're going to get a better shave I do straight razor edge
