Shaving As God Intended

The perfect shave is what all men strive for every morning when they bring their razor up their chin – an effortless shave that’s baby smooth, and without any of the usual skin irritation, redness, and that burning sensation most guys seem to feel is par for the course when it comes to shaving. Why do so many guys find this so hard to achieve? Because proper shaving has become a lost art. Shaving is one of those glorious male traditions that used to be passed down from father to son, but somewhere along the line, when shaving became more about cheap, disposable razors than a nice, precision-made metal tool in your hand, it became a brainless routine to rush through in the morning without even thinking about it. A dull disposable razor dragged across a layer of foam or gel on your cheeks is a step backward from the past, not an improvement. Now that men of all ages are paying more attention to their appearance, it’s no wonder that the hottest trend right now in male grooming is a return to the traditional wet shave – and millions of men have been shocked to discover that the “old fashioned” method of shaving they thought went out with the Hula Hoop is actually the best quality shave you can get.

A Better Shave That Saves You Money

What man hasn't watched an old western and wondered what it would be like to go to a barber and get a luxurious straight razor shave complete with hot towels and after shave? We all have, but unfortunately you will have to search to find a barber that still offers shaves and it will probably cost you a pretty penny at some fancy beauty parlor masquerading as a barber shop.

Wet shaving has gained much in popularity in recent years for many reasons. And there are lots of benefits to shaving the way dad and grandpa used to. One of the most important reasons, especially today, is that Double Edge razor blades are much, much cheaper than the almost criminal price of cartridge blades. In some cases you can get 50-100 double edge blades for between 10-15 dollars. And because you can use both sides of the blade you get double the service. A good double edge blade will last twice as long as a single cartridge blade, and give a better shave to boot.
