Thanks for the share man! Will be sure to read it since i know very little about shaving with straight razors!
What a great read! Thanks to the OP for this.
This should be helpful. Thanks.
I've tried both a half hour of preparation and none at all and never experienced an iota of difference in the shave. I just don't have that much time to waste on something that is based on shaving mythology and has no practical effect.
Very Cool, thanks for sharing!
I'm with Ace on this. OTOH ........ some guys like to go through the ritual because for them it does make a difference. Some may just like to extend the pleasure of the shave to 'pampering' themselves with the extra attention. There are days where I do one pass, and others where I do a second just to enjoy lathering with a favorite brush one more time. :)
I do the half hour (or more) of prep on the weekends or when I have the time to spare. It might improve the shave by 1% or it might not. What is does improve is my attitude for the rest of the day.
