Title: Smooth Shave
Post by: Road Dog on January 24, 2012, 06:42:07 AM: I've always shaved my head from front to back, but today I shaved the back of my head from back to front. This made an incredible difference in the smoothness of the shave. Has anyone else experienced this or am I just now learning what I should have been doing all along?

I shave every day and must go against the grain, there is only so much stubble after one day
