Double Edge Razors, the Epitome of Wet Shaving
A traditional wet shave that involves usage of accessories like a shaving brush, shaving soap or cream and double edge razors can be beneficial in quite a number of ways. These are listed below:
Health improvement: The most common reason why men prefer traditional wet shaving is the attached promise of a healthier skin. Men's shaving has often been dogged with razor burns, ingrown hairs, redness and painful bumps and so many men are looking for alternate methods to achieve a smoother face at minimal or no pain at all. Wet shaving with a double edge razor will help in alleviating shaving problems and improve the appearance of the face. It's advisable to go for the traditional creams because they are very nutritious and form very good skin moisturizers.
Money saving: Double edge razors have economical benefits that multi-blade cartridge rackets are not privy to. The only major investment is the initial cost and the rest of the time, the price of the consumables remains at an all time low.
Reduction of adverse environmental impact: Using the traditional shaving (wet shaving), there is minimal waste, in fact, only the lather washed down the drain and the metal blade characterize the wastes. The lather drain is chemical free and therefore friendly to the environment. It's advisable to use straight razor blades if one wants to reduce the facial bumps.
Well being improvement: A person who looks good, feels good. Starting the day off with a superb shave followed by an excellent aftershave leaves one feeling clean and of course, smelling good. For men, a good day starts with a good shave.
Fun activity: Scrubbing the face with a badger shaving brush is a fun activity, any time. One is also exposed to learning the use of traditional shaving supplies, which require skills to master. One may even venture into the arena of straight razor shaving and learn how people of yore used to shave. This will definitely bring in a sense of tradition and connection to the years gone by.
The following brief guide is an expose on apt men's shaving techniques:
Firstly, it's important to prepare the beard. One of the important keys to a good shave is preparation. The beard must first be sufficiently hydrated. Wetness makes the hair weak, thereby making it easier to cut. Consequently, there is minimal pulling and irritation. It's advisable to shave a few minutes after showering so that the beard has ample time to absorb the water.
Secondly, create and apply the lather. The simplest method of creating lather is to place an almond sized scoop of cream in a shaving bowl. The pre-wetted brush is used to swirl the cream in the bowl until there is thick lather. The brush is then used to apply the lather to the wet area using either a painting or swirling motion, depending on preference.
Thirdly, engage in the shave exercise. Cartridge razors are known to remove much hair very quickly. However, this leads to a shoddy job. Double edge razors are the ideal razors of choice for wet shaving, majorly due to the quality of the shave and also the ease with which they can be used. The double edge razor should be used with very light strokes at appropriate angles. With proper practice, anyone can learn its usage.
Fourthly, it's important to follow the shave with an aftershave. This helps in the reduction of any irritation that may result from an accidental pull or drag. Aftershave also protects the skin, hydrates it and makes it look healthy.
