    Ah, thx, that helps. And now my dictionary spits out sth that makes actually sense: crosshatch. And chevron stroke then is like herringbone pattern, I suppose?!

    After rinsing off, …
    After rinsing off, as long as you’ve got a deep enough sink(basin) I’d recommend this slight variation: place your face directly under the stream of cold water, moving your head so that the water runs over every part of your face. Do this until your skin has adjusted to the temperature.
    In very hot climates, and with good quality water, I have even found that this technique can remove the need for aftershave since the pores are firmly closed and the skin is left refreshed and invigorated.

    He does 3 passes, but if you notice, he only strokes the same area once per pass. I’ve been using a Mach3 for a few months now and I am very displeased with it. I find I sometimes have to resort to making 5-6strokes on the same spot and even sometimes shave against the grain on the same spot numerous times. It’s because I am not prepping my face correctly and using the proper technique. Mantic56 knows what he’s talking about. His YouTube channel is devoted to this shaving method.

    Thanks for the videos Mantic! I have a quick question, I notice you rinse with cold water after the first pass and with warm water after the 2nd and 3rd passes. I was always under the impression that you should always rinse with cold water while shaving. Is there something I am missing? Thanks again!

    piratebri- Actually I rinse with hot water for all my passes these days. Seems to work better for me. Most folks rinse with hot between passes and cold as a finish.

    Excellent video, great advice. About to try this new method. I often get bad ingrown hairs and tried many shave creams. I am just switching to a shave soap and new brush so hopefully combination of the lot will sort me out. Thanks from England

    hey mantic im 15 years old and ive been growing hair in all of my face spots, however they are only a few, what would u recommend me to do in order to grow my beard faster and hairier???

    my barber recommends shaving really often so i do it every 2 days, is this harming my skin or is it dangerous in some way?

    SemphasNecros- The only solution is time. Shaving often to grow hair more quickly is a myth. Shaving normally will not harm your skin, though if you have a serious skin condition you probably need to talk to a dermatologist.
