Tue, 23 Nov 2010 04:44:15 +0000 http://www.kinowear.com/blog/the-elusive-perfect-shave/#comment-72783 I just came across this great post. For years I have been using a forty-year-old Gillette safety razor, which is adjustable for closeness, that I got from my grandfather. I have another one exactly like it in reserve that I purchased at an estate sale. The quality is such that I will never need to worry about getting another. I feel like I became a man the day I started using this razor. Like the book says, "when I became a man I put away childish things" like multi-blade cartridge razors and aerosol shaving foam. Since then I have enjoyed a flawless close shave and the masculine ritual that goes along with it. I just came across this great post.

Gillette and Schick have been lying their tails off for decades by trying to convince poeple it's all about the blades. Well, it ISN'T! It's about the lubricant under the blade. Get a mug and brush and a double edged razor and you're set for life! Just a few weeks ago, I bought a beautifully finished Edwin Jagger razor from Sheffield, UK and I’ll never go back.

The only thing that really gets me a smooth shave is my Remington electric shaver. You do need a lotta other face-care stuff, though, like exfoliating face-wash, soothing aftershave balm and alcohol-based toners and astringents to keep those nasty bumps & pimples at bay. Its well worth the effort, though, I get a extremely close shave that leaves my face smooth and supple. The ladies love it! I’ve tried straight-razors and gillette vibrating 5-bladers as well.

My whiskers wer'nt that tuff then. Shaved in the shower and used just about any razor. Now I'm older and girlfriends used to complain how prickley my face was (expecially when we were in hockey mode)Now I know the importance of grooming expecially if you was to keep and attract women. I can still feel the prickly face of my father and the smell of scotch on his breath when I was a child,it can be a mood killer. I still shave in the shower and I have alway used a soap bar and twin blade disposable razor. I leave a mirror in there and never use an after shave, any sort of moisture cream and people still cant guess my age, and thats a good feeling. If you have tuff bristles a cheap twin blade wont cut it, get a better quallity blade and it will stay sharper for longer. As gilete says,'you can feel the difference' Rival When I was younger, I did’nt need to shave that often. My whiskers wer’nt that tuff then. Shaved in the shower and used just about any razor.

I usually start with Proraso preshave, then a Taylor and Bond cream, applied with a badger-hair brush. I find that if I shave in the evening, I can go the entire next day without the classic 'five-o'clock shadow'. It does take a little longer to shave this way, but I get great resluts with no razor burn.

Closest shave imaginable. No more red bumps, ingrown hairs, aftershaves, shaving creame etc, etc....... It's also GREAT for the face. The lubrication is amazing. I'll never buy cream again.
