So you've decided to take the plunge and has a razor's grandfather? Most of the men, the old-school razors, shaving brush and a quality badger hair to try to see it again. Here are some tips to get you going in the right direction.
1 Take your time. When shaving with a razor, slow down. Leave swing the 5-blade razor, to overthrow the job and end up shaving. When using a safety razor, take your time and think about "reducing beard." Thisrelathering means more passes, between passes, each pass with a beard a little more than the previous one.
2 Look at the edges! Otherwise do not move more than one of the most recent swivel razor, not the head: you must manually run the blade angle to the contour of the face. Be careful around the chin and jaw areas. Again see tip # 1!
3 Start with a warm, wet face. Always wash your face before shaving the beard area, then heat for a minute or so with water or a hot towel or aCombination of both. Keep your face wet while shaving.
4 foam well. Use a quality shaving brush with badger hair. Do not use foam from the can! Some say that creates the fuel as possible, a foam with small air pockets, these small air pockets let your face is not protected. Use this soap instead of shaving foam in a bowl and pleasant with a badger hair brush. If you tried, you never go back.
5 And finally, a sharp blade. The great thingis about wet shaving, and after the initial cost of the safety razor, brush, bowl and soap, razor blades that are pretty cheap. To resist the temptation too often a knife. Replace the DE (double edged) razor blade at least twice a month, depending on how often you shave during the week. If you have a very tough beard, you might want to change the blades once a week.
