15 years ago I went looking for shaving options that were more cost effective than the shaving cream and cartridges I had been using. I bought a $20 DE razor and a few spare blades. Using hand soap and a face cloth for lubrication I went at it. The price tag was good but the shave quality was not.
The next significant upgrade was when I began using shaving soap with a shaving brush. After that, there was no more bleeding as a result of shaving.
Now, if I’m in a rush I will face lather. I get a top shelf shave in a very reasonable amount of time. If I’m not in a rush I’ll develop a lather in a shaving bowl. Taking time to take care of myself is a very important part of my routine.
We should all take pride in taking care of ourselves. It shows and reflects on who you are. Let it show. I don’t want to be a snob but I do want to feel proud and confident. It shows when you do a good job taking care of yourself.
Take your time and do a good job.
Thank you,
Peter Gilbert
