Thread: Methodshaving

Anyone ever tried methodshaving? Is it worth while the effort and money?

Have a look at methodshaving.com

I think if you do a search, you'll find that this has been discussed a few times already. However, to give you the reader's digest version:

The cubes are good, but the "method" itself is overcomplicated and comes burdened with an entirely new, and largely unnessary vocabulary.

Just seems too complicated and time consuming for me to be interested in, I never tried it and don't really have any wish to.

Keith, thanks for the summary. I did use the search feature but methodshaving gives zero results.

Iwan, just my thoughts. I wanted to know as I am having a sensitive skin, easily get razor burn and redness in the neck area. I wonder why Methodwhaving.com does not combine all ingredients into one cream or soap. It just looks like they want to add some alchemism to it to woo potential customers.

I don't think I'm a stupid man (no-one does, I guess!), but after 30 minutes at methodshaving.com, I still don't know what method shaving is.

I have been method shaving now for about a year and it has done wonders for my skin. If you read the web site or even talk to Charles it seems like a very complicated process. Do not listen to all of that or let it scare you away from trying method shaving. If you decided to try it, Just let your cube and brush sit in a sink full of warm water together for about two minutes. Next rub your brush on the cube building a nice lather then just put a little paste on the top and you are ready to go. No need to complicate things. I think if you give it shot you will be quite surprised by the quality of the products and their results. To start with all you need is the cube and paste and you can always add the tonic, balm and conditioner. Anyway just my two cents---------Wess

Same here, me neither.

Here's what I did glean:

1. There's a cube involved.
2. The 'method' refers to a way of talking about shaving as much as anything.

For a good reason. People here are less likely to fall for a sense of mysticism created to peddle products without offering an alternative to good common sense.

I found the write ups on the method to be painfully difficult to read and understand. Wess and other deciples of the method would do well to point Charles to a good editor. As written, they come across as a marketing gimick to sell his products.
