The Lost Art of Shaving

Many men nowadays prefer the convenience of an electric razor, but some British barber advocates the closeness of a traditional wet shave.
Here's how to get it right: Wash your face with warm water and a mild soap. Apply a moisturizer, then brush on the shaving soap in circular movements, lifting the hairs into an upright position. Apply the lather to one area at a time to prevent the skin becoming dried out. Using a sharp safety razor, glide downwards in the direction of hair growth using short, even strokes. Dip the razor in hot water frequently. After shaving, wash face and apply moisturizer or alcohol free aftershave. Change your razor blade after four uses. Have a nice shaving.
