The Friday Special for Beginners Second Pass 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.

I will do both an "Across the Grain" and "Against the Grain" for My Second Pass based on my Beard Mapping.

My Five (5) Steps to My Second Pass:
1. I will go "Across the Grain" on my Neck starting on my Left Side to my Right Side
2. But Right Under my Chin that will be "Against the Grain"
3. Then I will go on to my Cheek on my Right Side that will be "Against the Grain"
4. Next I will go on to my Cheek on my Left Side that will be "Against the Grain"
5. And I will Finish up on my Mustache/Mouth and Chin Areas Mostly "Across the Grain" with some "With the Grain"

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.
