How To Get That Perfect Shave
I'll admit it - I wouldn't have thought MSNBC would be the place to find an excellent article on shaving, but here it is. Written by tech editor Corey Greenberg, this long and informative article is a step-by-step tutorial on old-school double-edge razor shaving. That's double-edge, or "DE". Not straight razor, not cartridge razor, not disposable razor. We're talking about those little flat rectangles of metal your parents thought might be in the apple you got trick-or-treating.
... it’s the same type of razor that your father, your grandfather, Cary Grant, Lee Marvin, JFK, and John Wayne used, and in the opinion of many shave-o-philes, the classic DE wipes the floor with any modern razor.
Greenberg then walks you through what type of shaving brush you'll need (and how not to spend $500 on it), what type of razor you'll need (Merkur’s HD “Hefty Classic” at $27 available at ClassicShaving.com), and most importantly, how to shave with them.
There's more info on shaving creams, barbershop shaves, and online shaving communities. Read the whole article at MSNBC.
