Just wondering if I'm alone doing this,.....In my auto racing days,...if I had a fiddly operation down in the bowels of the engine bay, instead of peering in whilst trying,...I'd close my eyes, zen-like, relax and visualise the task.
I suppose this replicated somewhat, by the heightened senses that remain, say when someone doesn't have their sight any more.
Back on point,....my first attempts at straight razor shaving were OK, and I soon got a decent one pass shave, requiring a minimal clean up pass,..or two.
One problem that I had was, looking in the mirror while shaving, and trying to stretch the skin I seemed to be looking around my arms and hands and getting in a mess.
Then I started closing my eyes, when doing the difficult bits, and shaving by feel, and lo and behold, I got better and better.
It may not work for you, but it certainly did for me.
"Mileage for you,...vary it may"....
