January 2016 I read this article: https://www.artofmanliness.com/articles/how-to-shave-like-your-grandpa/
Picked up a Muhle R89, HJM boar, tub of TOBS sandalwood and I was away... No intention/delusion of saving money just wanted to do something the 'old fashioned' way and turn a chore into a pleasure, succeeded on both counts.
What do you consider shaving properly?As the title says, why did you start shaving properly?
My darling wife is currently on a bit of an anti-plastic drive, which has lead to me discovering that our lovely hobby of shaving properly, is also a (potentially) plastic free method!
I, personally, starting shaving with a DE to help my skin. And I must admit, it has done wonders. My neck which used to always be red and raw and uncomfortable, has calmed down significantly since using a DE. Interestingly, I've found that soaps either make it horrible (Arko, I'm looking at you) or everything is fine. The main difference is with the change from multi-blade cartridge to having a proper DE razor.
As I see it, there are four reasons for proper shaving:
- Help you skin
- Save money on blades
- Reduce plastic waste
- The pure unadulterated pleasure of it
What made you make the switch? One of these? Or something I've not thought of?
