    You are an example to us all SpicyGem.

    Your shaving is definately coming along nicely, A few things that come to mind;
    When you re-lather, lay it on thick; the more slick your face is, the less razorburn you'll have and you know your going in the right direction when your making stupid faces, the more you stretch your face the easier it is to cut hairs:especially on the chin. bite your bottom lip with your top teeth and that'll stretch the chin area and make going down and under easier

    regards alex

    Just started watching your videos today and your really doing great!
    On tip I've found that has helped me and didn't really notice on your video. If you don't shave directlly on the curve of the jawbone, either stretch skin up or down and shave on flat of lower cheek or upper neck. Keep up the good work.

    Great videos man! Reminds me a lot of my first few shaves. You're doing great.

    Here are a couple videos that really really helped me when I was getting started. They helped me figure out some of those tricky areas, like under the nose.

    Here is my first video that I did when I was learning how to use a straight razor. This was a couple months after I started. Thankfully I didn't cut my face off. I need to do a followup.

    @salazch - Thanks for the post. I actually saw Jockey's videos before, but I re-watched them again just now for a refresher! And coincidentally, I saw YOUR videos earlier today when killing time on You Tube! Good to see that you're an SRP member.

    Thanks for commenting and following! My goal is to post one final video in a few weeks to show everything I've learned, demonstrating the growth of how a beginner can progress from Shave #1 to a moderately good shaver from just the help of forum members here!

    Yes, but what fun would that be? I only use my disappearing powers on full bottles of beer within my line of sight.
