but you have think about it, how many times are you going to do it? hire somebody (a professional) that already has the roller.

Dont shave the front, just roll it and go slow.

I shaved one of my fronts and it became all wavey and nasty. The other one i just rolled it and it looks perfect.

Rear you shave completely flat.
