Description This demonstrates a shave technique on a pig's foot. Because there are no protruding lesions, I start by angling the blade at about 45 degrees from the skin surface, and while advancing the blade forward, I have a slight side to side sawing motion, and when I am about halfway through the target, I then flatten the blade and start to elevate it at about a 45 degree angle as I come upwards out of the skin.
