The Traditional Wet Shave

October 21st, 2006 by Duff OMelia

A number of bloggers have been yapping about how great traditional wet shaving is. I don’t think I’ve been particularly good at shaving in the past. I seemed to avoid it because it took time and because it was kind of uncomfortable. There were parts of my face that I never shaved very well because going against the grain just hurt.

So I was curious to check out what people have been talking about. I was surprised to find that I had been shaving all wrong. There’s a lot more to shaving your face than I realized.

Over the last few weeks, I’ve been able to shave much more closely than I’ve ever shaved before. And it doesn’t hurt. It did take me more time at first with these new techniques, but I’m getting faster at it each time.

Here are 3 videos that demonstrate the technique:
