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.
