Just curious to how many of you use any of these?

dodgy said:Hiya,
Blade buffing and j hooking are a part of my over all technique, as is the bit of bullfrogging to smooth out my neck a bit. Seems like the whiskers grow in a crop circle kinda pattern there......very nice.
Now I'll share one more tip for improving the shave, and I don't believe Mark (Mantic) included this technique.......really kinda strange that he hasn't.
As many of you know, sometimes radical effluvients will creep into your ears when you're sleeping. Yep, those things will find their way into the ear canal and can play havoc on the balance center. This results in either a dangerous shave, or at best just a sloppy and uneven one. I know, I'm not saying anything you all don't already understand....just stating the obvious so far.
So, rather than take the chance that I've been invaded by those effluvient particles, I do some preventative exercises every morning just to be on the safe side. I was gonna describe how this method is performed, but luckily I found a video that shows it very well. In this case, it was used for clearing the ears because of an allergy, but the result's the same.
Please think of this as a public service announcement, and no thanks are needed.

Not a poster - an instruction leaflet...
Like this one here from the 1920s
