any long stroke shaving pointers, tips or tricks?

[Deleted member 2936]

hey so I tend to do shorter strokes but I want to up my game take more longer strokes which I think will reduce my shaving time and make the shave more efficient, well that's I'm thinking

What pointers, tips or tricks could you give me for taking long strokes whilst head shaving? Thanks

No. That's for old TV commercials, not people who shave. I go, shave, shave, shave, not shaaaave.

Keep your skin stretched and have a good slick lather going.

Stretch your skin to flatten it. Otherwise you won’t easily maintain the optimal blade angle across the contours of your face.

For extra style points try using j-strokes by adding a twist at the end. Can be more effective too.

Edit: Oh, just noticed you said this is for head-shaving. Don’t know about that. Just try and keep the blade angle to your scalp consistent, I guess.

Same advice as usual given to anyone new. No pressure. Always.

Sorry, I too missed the fact you said it was for head shaving. I have no experience in that.
