Channel: Adventures In Wet Shaving
Date: 20/01/2017

The Friday Special for Beginners Third Pass and Pick Ups of a Two and a Half Pass Straight Razor Shaving. Using a Gold Dollar 66 Half Hollow Ground Carbon Steel Straight Razor Shave, Shave Of The Day with Stache Soap Works E-BARBER Shaving Soap, 30 Degree Red Latigo Leather Straight Razor Strop, Omega Shaving Brush 10098 Professional Boar Bristle made in Italy, Lucky Tiger After Shave and Face Tonic with Organic Aloe Vera, Calendula & Chamomile, Pinaud Clubman Musk Cologne, and finishing off with Nivea For Men Post Shave Balm for Sensitive Skin.

At this Stage you should have been Straight Razor Shaving for a while so for the Beginners Third Pass and Pick Ups try to decide if you need a Third Pass or Not. Do you need an "Across the Grain" and/or "Against the Grain" Pass for your Third Pass.

My Five (5) Steps to My Third or Half Pass Pass and Pick Ups:
1. I will go "Against the Grain" on my Neck and Jaw Line starting on my Right Side to the Middle
2. But Right Under my Chin that will be "Across the Grain"
3. Then I will go to the other side of my Neck and Jaw Line starting on my Left Side to the Middle
4. And I will Finish up my Chin Areas Mostly "Across the Grain"
5. Next if you would like or if you need to, you could do Pick Ups to get that BBS (Baby But Smooth) Shave
Note: Step Five (5) isn't always necessary.

Four (4) Tips and Trick When Straight Razor Shaving:
1. Remember to Stretch as you are shaving keeping the Skin Taut, but Don't Over Stretch as this could razor bumps.
2. Try to keep the Angle of the Blade at 30 Degrees from the Face. A Simple way to do this is to use the Width of the Spine of the Blade as a Guide and set the Blade the Width of the Spine from the Face.
3. Next it will be a Good Habit to Start from the Begining to Switch Hands as required to get in the Best Possible Position to shave the various parts of your face.
4. Lastly find a Time that will give you Enough Time to shave and Not be in a Hurry.
