    HOW TO SHAVE WITH A STRAIGHT RAZOR

    1. PREPARE THE SKIN AND HAIR FIRST

    Have a quick feel of the direction of your hair, as this will guide the

    direction of your shave. Start by preparing the skin and hairs by first

    rinsing your cheeks with warm water, then applying lather from a quality

    shaving cream or soap with a shaving brush.

    2. HOLD THE RAZOR AT A 30° ANGLE. START WITH SIDEBURNS AND CHEEKS

    This approximate angle is strikes the perfect balance–too shallow and

    you'll tear stubble, too steep and you’ll cut skin. With a firm grip, apply

    short strokes (1-3 cm) with little pressure to begin shaving. Start at the

    sideburns and work those quick strokes down along the cheeks and beard. Let

    the weight and sharpness do most of the work. When you’ve shaved one side,

    repeat the same steps on the other side.

    3. MOVE ONTO THE CHIN AND UPPER LIP

    Continue with the same angle, pressure and short strokes on the chin and

    upper lip. To get a closer shave, you may want to pull the skin to make it

    taut as the razor moves along it. Regularly wipe or rinse the blade as you

    shave.

    4. NEXT MOVE ONTO THE LOWER LIP AND NECK

    You might need to move around your lips, which might result in some odd

    facial expressions. The point of it is to make the skin in that area taut

    for a closer shave. The general rule of thumb for this area is to start

    shaving from the corners of your mouth, moving across to the center of your

    chin. When you’re shaving the neck, move the straight razor with the grain

    to prevent irritation and cuts.

    5. REPEAT IF NECESSARY

    For the most part, one pass should be enough. However, if you want an even

    closer shave you can do a full second pass or simply clean up any areas you

    missed. To repeat, start from the beginning again by prepping the skin with

    shaving cream or soap. When finished, splash the face with lukewarm water.

    6. FINISH BY MOISTURISING

    Splash the face a second time with cold water to close the pores. Lastly,

    apply a moisturiser or aftershave balm to the skin for protection and

    hydration.
