Awesome Videos 

Here are two awesome videos regarding how to shave with a straight razor, by two well experienced shavers.

Hint:  Beware of Newbies making videos.  It takes years to master a straight razor shave.  There are alot of youtubers out there that mean  well, but are not experienced enough to teach.

If you can, try to pick up the Lynn Abrams DVD. 


Shavettes 

Personally shavettes are not for me, but there is a strong following for them.  They offer convenience and cost savings, but can be less forgiving.  

I’ll tell you my thoughts.
