having had my first shave today, i can not wait until tomorrow so i can shave again (never in my wildest dreams did i think i would ever say that) and try some of these tips out... my biggest challenge today was visibility and left hand, but i definitly see what i was doing wrong after watching these videos!

Thanks!

+1!!
My right hand (dominant one) isn't the problem; the left was. But not anymore, thanks to these video's.
The only thing that's left for me to do, is to gain as much control as i have with the right hand.........it takes time, but it'll come
I'm sure it will work out for you too!!

Hi guys,
i had my first part shave today,sides only, the thought of doing anything else at present being a newbie is a gamble i'm not taking.didn't realize or know about the two handed shaving approach,thought my other arm was being controlled by a poltergeist.
makes you appreciate the level of skill involved.
i will persist and master this & with the info & help on srp i know i'll succeed.

Awesome! I could have used this one a few months ago! Thanks for the video!

Great videos; thanks, jockeys. Totally new to all of this... got my first straight in the mail yesterday and plan on trying my hand at my first straight shave later today, came looking and found these vids in the wiki. I feel a lot better coming in now having seen this with the close-ups... especially the angle! Again, I haven't started yet but I KNOW I would have come in shallower than that, so this is already hugely helpful! Plus the diagonal passes for the neck - don't know when I'll actually try those, but I know my grain on my neck is all over the place, and is my main concern for the future. Great to have seen those too.

Thanks again!

I know this response is coming rather late, but I saw the video recommended in a newer post. Just wanted to say thanks for the post. I've got a patch on my neck right under my chin that goes from left to right in a kind of diagonal direction that's impossible for me to hit just right. I'll give these techniques a try next time I lather up!
