Thread: Shaving Techniques for Bearded Ones??

Concerning the lather issue:

I usually shave a rough outline around my goatee and leave the fine work for last. Then before I try to get the exact line, I wipe the lather off around the very edge of the goatee. The hair is still moisturized and soft, but I can easily see where hair and skin meet.

Another thing that works well for me, something that allows you to keep shaving while trying to grow, is to purposely leave too big an area unshaved. That way you still get the joy of shaving, but are also able to see where the facial hair will be/ what it will look like. Then as the hair gets longer, I tighten up the shape until I get just what I want.

Another option on the brush, although more difficult, would be working with a member on here and having them order a brush and then ship it to you. Slightly more costly, but possibly the best option. I'm not terribly familiar with shipping to Canada though, so it might cost more than you are looking to spend.
