When starting out at DE shaving I guess most of us give our face a good mowing. In this I mean that the angle of the razor head is horizontal as it goes down the face as seen in the mirror. At first this seems very logical and perhaps safe as we start out on our voyage of DE discovery and along the way we find out that there are other options open to us. I say this as I wanted to try a slant, though I have not as yet done so. So I decided to hold the razor at a 45% but still keeping to the mowing technique and found it offered less resistance, good. Then I went a bit further and added a sweeping motion when shaving the burns & cheeks, even better,so I tried it on the neck area and it worked a treat. It resulted in a cleaner and more comfortable shave all round. Now maybe I'm years behind this game so let me know if I'm waffling on but does anyone else shave like this and how different is the slant compared to a standard set up?
