    Default Expert proper shaving video?

    Is there a nice video, showing an expert shaving himself?
    Most of the experts are barbers, so you only see them shaving someone else.

    All of the videos I find are young startups filming themselves being cut, oftentimes with one hand.
    I am looking for:
    -proper grip (would be nice to see 3 finger)
    -direction
    -stroke length
    -wtg followed by agt passes (not agt right away as you see sometimes)
    -no "mustaches" or other features that they shave around (I want to see how they handle the chin area too!)

    I know there are "barber" manuals and such, but a video would be a great reference.
    Any resources are welcome, thank you!

    There are a tonne of them. Check out the "videos" sub-forum of the "General" forum.

    Welcome to SRP by the way!

    Lynn Abrams on youtube, or you can grab his dvd the world of straight razor shaving; it's a good one; I pop it in every now and again for the heck of it.
    Mastering implies there is nothing more for you to learn of something... I prefer proficient enough to not totally screw it up.

    A video of an expert shaving himself. I believe it meets all your requirements.

    Not the best quality but good. I believe this was done on the old VHS cameras.

    Shaving with facial hair is like a golfcourse. It's a challenge of rough and fairways. You are the skilled greenskeeper of your face?

    I did one once. Not an expert, not is the quality/angle good. I just wanted to capture the first shave with my grandpas heirloom razor that I received and honed. Probably way more special to me than anyone else.

    To me Lynn's old shaving video is THE shaving video on the net.
