Getting Started
1. Get Yourself a Shaving Brush & Some Premium Soap or Cream. You won't regret it.
Dip your toe in the waters of the wet shaving world by investing in an entry level shaving brush and whipping up some quality lather. History has proven that you lather up once and you won’t go back; it’s a classy step in the right direction.
2. Choose quality over quantity when it comes to razors + blades. Invest in a High-Quality Safety Razor.
Time to throw away your over-priced disposable razors and find out what the allure of old-school wet-shaving is all about. Pick out a double-edge safety razor along with a package of razor blades and consider adding a styptic pencil and some aftershave cream to soothe your skin as you learn how to shave with finesse.
3. If you want ease and low maintenance when using a straight razor, Opt for a Replaceable Blade Straight Razor.
Welcome to the world of the disposable blade straight razor, where only the leading edge of the blade is exposed to prevent any serious cuts. There’s no stropping, honing, or other maintenance either, just pop a blade in and start learning the techniques you’ll need to move on to shaving with a real straight razor.
4. It all comes down to this. Try Shaving with a Real Straight Razor.
Learning to care for and shave with the kind of straight razor your great-grandfather used is one of the most satisfying skills you can learn. These tools are meant to be handed down through the generations; you’ll find yourself snickering as you pass those plastic razors locked behind supermarket glass.
