My husband is a simple man with simple joys in life. One of the things he loves doing is shaving. He loves getting stuff on shaving like the shaving stand that I recently gave him. It may be an accessory to some but he loves it because it helps dry his brush after shaving.
Talking about shaving, my hubby always opts the conventional way of shaving. I mean the good old safety razor which was invented in 1901. This provides him with a good shave. He doesn't use the modern plastic gadgets for shaving. Aside from that, it also helps save our environment from extra non-biodegradable plastic landfill.
It is always a little scary when I see him having something sharp next to his neck even if I know that he has been doing this for many years already. I guess he has mastered the art of shaving his own way. To attain a good shave, this is how he does it. He starts by putting a hot towel on his face or sometimes he washes his face with warm water. This is done to open the pores of his skin.
He applies a pre-shave oil then lathers it with heated shave foam. After a few seconds, he starts shaving downward, stretching his skin as he shaves. Next, he is shaving upward and upward again, still stretching his skin. I could see that he shaves against the grain of his beard. He does this very slowly, carefully and makes the cut as effortless as possible to avoid being wounded.
He also applies generously the warm shaving cream before each shave. After shaving, he rinses the lather off his face with cold water because this will help close the pores and soothe his skin. Lastly, he applies the after-shave. My hubby is always pleased with the results. I could see him smiling in front of the mirror which shows that he is satisfied.
His face is smooth and I don't see him getting irritated every after shave. I always comment about his great look after the shave. One time, I told him to enjoy the luxury of a professional shave even once a year. But he told me, he doesn't need that kind of service as long as he has a good quality shaving kit. He adds, "This is my partner in having a good shave."
