Straight Cuts

So I have been shaving for about 12 years consistently now and was always taught through advertising that a razor with multiple blades is the best way to go...WRONG!!! Oh that latest and greatest shaving gel or cream...oops 0 for 2. You have to spend a ton of money on a good razor...HIT THE SHOWERS YOUR DONE!!! The reality of it is that many men including myself need better...why you may ask! Oh its cause we hate the irritation that these awesome new commercial products are supposed to do for us. About a year ago I ran into a guy who let me in on a secret...less is more! That's right fewer blades less irritation more lovin' from the ladies, (joking). I had my first encounter with a double edged razor. WOW what a world of difference. Then shortly after I started using hot soap lather. Ohhh Ahhh. I started to notice less burn or bumps from shaving. No its not cause i started using soap or the razor its both! A few months ago I decided to try my hand and my neck at a straight razor. Ok Ok Ok for those out there who are afraid of a shaky hand taking off your cheek or slicing your jugular, fyi i shake too. :) Its going to be expected that when you self shave with a straight razor your going to have a new scar appear somewhere and hey lets face it (no pun intended) chicks dig scars. So what has this done for me? Hardly any breakouts from the burn and fewer ingrown hairs even yet. Hey who knows, I might actually get good enough to shave other people with it one day!
