?Shave Like Your Great Grandpa: The Ultimate Straight Razor Shaving Guide? Everyone has their personal preference when it comes to the technique they use with a straight razor. Below we provide a suggested way to shave. As you gain experience wielding a straight razor, you’ll find yourself changing things up to suit your preference. If a particular way to shave with a straight razor works for you, then do it. ?Beard Prep?For a comfortable, close shave, a little preparation before putting blade to face goes a long way. Soft whiskers cut more easily than dry whiskers. That’s why barbers wrap a hot towel around your face when you get a straight razor shave. The heat and water combination softens your beard and makes it ready for shaving. You can replicate the barbershop experience by soaking a towel in hot water, wringing it out, and placing it on your face for a few minutes. ?The Shave Stroke?Begin with slow, even strokes and shave in the direction of your beard growth. Shaving against the grain can cause ingrown hairs and razor bumps. Hold the blade at a 30-degree angle. Shave the Right Side of Your Face Shave the Right Side Under Your Jaw Shave the Left Side of Your Face Shave the Left Side Under the Jaw Shave the Upper Lip Shaving the Chin Shaving Under the Chin ?Important Note? Always wear a sweet vest when shaving with a straight razor. This greatly improves the quality of your shaves. ?Post-Shave?Rinse your face off with cool water. Splash a manly smelling aftershave on your face. Witch hazel and bay rum are nice. Aftershave helps reduce skin irritation and leaves your skin looking healthy. Follow by applying a small quantity of talcum powder to your face.
