Discussion of the Week: Getting Started with Traditional Wet Shaving!

  • It’s important to incorporate a brush and soap into your regular routine.
  • Learning to lather properly with your current razor will help along in the learning process,
  • Remember, it takes your face some time to adjust to new products so I recommend using fragrance free soap at first so you can focus on technique and eliminate other factors that may cause irritation.
  • If you’re currently using an electric razor, switch to a brush, soap and cartridge style razor before jumping into a classic form.

Training Tip of the Week: Choosing Your First Brush

  • There are so many options, it may be hard to make a decision regarding brushes.
  • Let’s simplify it for you:
    • Natural Brushes:
      • Contain hair from animals.
      • Badger, Hog and Horse are the most common
      • Retain heat and water well
      • Been used for over 200 years
    • Synthetic Brushes:
      • Consists of man-made material
      • Have improved greatly over the past few years
      • Require little water
    • I’ll discuss my thoughts.
