Title: front or back
Post by: miserable_soul on February 01, 2009, 03:19:53 PM

I first do front to back.  That is primarily with the grain.  Then I turn around and do back to front.  Then I go after the "crazy hair" that isn't covered by the first two passes.

I can't start back to front because I just jam up the razor, dull it quicker, and don't get a good shave.

i always start at the back, work to wards the top.  Start in the front working back to the top  then the left side and finally the Right side

I shave the same way. The back takes a little longer for me,because I don`t go against the grain on my neck. I like to get it out of the way first.
