How to Shave – Wet Shaving Razors from Ape to Gentleman on Vimeo.

Here is my latest video and article for Ape To Gentleman.  I decided to talk a little more about modern razors because there is some genuinely interesting technology in them.  I really don’t have anything against modern razors–except the steep price of replacement cartridges, the classic “razors and blades” marketing model taken to extreme.  But I prefer to have more control over my shave: to use skill rather than give up control to what some committee thinks is the “average” face.
