How to Use a Straight Razor
Preparation
1. Prep your beard with a hot shower or towel.
2. Fill a mug or bowl with hot water and soak your brush.
3. Create a lather with the brush and soap or cream.
Shaving
1. Wet your face and apply the lather using a paintbrush motion.
2. Let the lather sit for 5 minutes; re-lather if necessary.
3. Stretch your skin and hold the razor at a 20° angle.
4. Shave with light pressure, making three passes:
- First pass: with the grain
- Second pass: sideways to the grain
- Third pass: against the grain (optional)
Aftercare
1. Rinse with cold water to close pores.
2. Dry the razor and store it properly.
3. Clean and dry the brush.
Important Safety Notes
- Handle the razor with care, as the blade is extremely sharp.
- Mastering the art of straight razor shaving requires practice.
