Training Tip of the Week: Using A Sponge While Straight Razor Shaving
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIM0Coix6Gg
Using a sponge to remove lather while shaving with a straight razor is a great technique. It keeps the blade clean and minimizes the risk for damage by noting bringing the blade close to the faucet.
This video debuted when I first started wet shaving. It’s one of the best (and most relaxing) i’ve seen to date.
