There is no real technique to shaving; this is really a labor of love. Shaving takes on being art that has to be learned and perfected. The longer you shave, the more you will learn about the little ins and outs that make your shaving experience a better one.
A warm shower is advisable prior to the shave- this puffs up the skin making the hair stick upwards. The hair is easier to cut this way. Floppy hair is not easily cut; the razor just glides over leaving a messy look.
Shaving lotions are particularly useful as they help the razor glide smoothly over the skin. Dermatologicas Professional Shave has a reputation as one of the best for the shaving experience. Though more expensive than many others, its performance is peerless. It cushions so smoothly that you can shave against the grain effortless. It is also odorless which is a plus for those who do not like the lingering scent of shaving lotions.
Should you prefer to use a shaving gel, a good brush is a worthwhile investment. Apart from adding a touch of timelessness in the shaving experience, brushes mix up the gel and water really well. Badger hair brushes are recommended as they are water absorbent and thereby create a rich lather fast. As you use this brush you will also exfoliate your skin leaving only new cells in the shaving area.
If you want to look like your grandpa did while shaving, take your time, enjoy the shaving experience. Shaving is a timeless art. If you learn it right, you will teach it right so you can pass it down to future generations.
