What exactly is 'blade buffing'?

**Malacoda** · 10-15-2009, 09:53 AM

Have seen other threads mention 'blade buffing' as a way to touch up small trouble spots...

...but haven't seen anything that actually describes the 'what' or 'how' of it.

Can anyone explain how, exactly, one 'blade buffs' -- or point me to a thread that does?

Thanks.

Awesome - thanks guys!

I saw mantic59's other youtube shaving vids but somehow I missed that one.

Just follow Mantic's video's and be sure to use no pressure what-so-ever. Do this a few times until you find what works best for you.

With practice, it has become a staple part of my routine. I have a really tough spot around my jawline that I can't seem to get smooth any other way.

I've started using the technique myself recently. As long as I use no pressure, I'm OK.

blade buffing was the only way I could get BBS in my moustache area with a DE - and I never cut myself doing it. It looks a lot worse than it is, give it a go!
