In every family, there are values and practices that are being passed down from one generation to another. In my husband's case, one of the great influences that his father had on him was straight razor shaving. He has been into it since he started shaving when he was in his teens. His father has learned this from his father which he passed down to my husband.
I remember I would only see men who shaved using straight razors in old movies and of course in my father too. I always tease my husband for being out of fashion because he doesn't want to convert to the more convenient way of shaving by using disposable razors. I used to wonder why but based on my observations and having lived with him for years, I now understand why.
As long as you know how to maintain and take care of your razor, straight razors cost lesser than disposable ones. It may cost more to start with but it will last for years before you need to replace it so it is actually cheaper. According to my husband, straight razor shaving is the best way to shave if you want to get the best results. It takes some skills, patience, time and focus but really worth it. My husband says that he feels relaxed while shaving, like a sort of meditation. It needs a certain rhythm or timing. You cannot rush it or you may hurt yourself and get some cuts.
With straight razor shaving, my husband could enjoy more control in the way he shaves. He could find the right angle,direction and stroke to get the best shave. Since it gives the closest shave, you don't have to shave as often as when you use a disposable razor. It leaves a smooth, clean skin and causes less irritation, if any. It is also environment-friendly.
There are more benefits from open razor shaving that I did not know of. Now, I know why my husband sticks with this kind of shaving. If you haven't tried it already, give it a shot! Why not invest on one? I'm sure you would love it as much as most men do.
