How to shave with care. How to shave with a dangerous razor correctly so as not to cut yourself? What is better machine or razor

You are unlikely to get a perfect result from the first attempts, but on the other hand, having stuffed your hand, you can shave yourself much cleaner than you did with a regular machine or a disposable razor. Shaving with a straight razor requires focus and calmness. Therefore, do not take on this matter, especially for the first time, if you are in a hurry or tired.

Don't try to shave your whole face at once. First, practice on flat areas of the face, such as the cheeks: these are the hardest to cut off.

1

Prepare your face. The skin must be steamed before shaving. So either take a shower or put a towel soaked on your face hot water and hold until it cools down. For best results, repeat this procedure twice.

2

Soak a shaving brush in a mug of hot water (if you don't know what it is, you probably don't need to shave with a straight razor). Boar bristle brushes are considered the best. However, as experts assured us, badger bristles are also quite suitable.

3

It is believed that creams and gels in bottles are not suitable for shaving with a straight razor. So put soap on your face. Use a shaving brush to lather your face and cover the areas you are going to shave with a thick layer. Soap will remove oil from the hair follicles and make it easier to shave with a straight razor. If your hair is too coarse (for example, you spent the last 28 years on a desert island or starred in Lost), wait 5-10 minutes.

4

If the foam dried up while waiting (and the next day came), apply it again. This is necessary to guide the blade and protect the skin.

5

While shaving with a straight razor, with your middle and index fingers (of the other hand, of course), pull the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe skin you are shaving in the opposite direction to the movement of the razor. Try to stretch your skin before every shave. The finger should be 2-3 cm from the razor. Do not proceed to shaving the next area of ​​​​skin until the previous one has been shaved, as the soap remaining on it will prevent you from pulling the skin.

6

The angle between the skin and the razor should be approximately 30°. To do this, lay the razor flat, and then smoothly set the desired angle. In no case do not put pressure on the razor - at best, you will get skin irritation, at worst, you will cut yourself.

7

Hold the razor so that the index, middle and ring fingers lie on the neck of the razor, the little finger on the tail notch. When shaving, only the hand works.

8

Try to shave with the center part of the razor and the one closest to the handle (called the "heel"), since the "toe" of the razor is less controlled and is the easiest to cut.

9

To achieve perfect smoothness, you need to make three passes over the skin. The first - along the hairline - start with short strokes and end with long ones. After that, apply the foam again on your face. The second and third passes are made against hair growth, but with short movements at the beginning and long ones towards the end.

The straight razor is an open-handled blade that was widely used before the invention of safety razors. The use of such a razor requires care to reduce the risk of cuts. To shave, first of all, you need to moisten your face with hot water and apply soap suds to it with a shaving brush. Then you should take the razor, apply it to the skin at an angle and begin to shave with short, controlled movements of the blade. You will have to run the razor over your face two or three times, and then remember to sharpen it for later use. By learning how to use a straight razor, you will be able to shave your face more smoothly than with any other safety razor.

Steps

Part 1

Applying soap suds to the face

Moisten your face with hot water. Take a hot shower and let the water run over your face for about five minutes. This will open up your pores and soften your facial hair, which will make your next shave much easier. You can also apply a wet hot towel to your face, as barbers did to their clients. Simply dampen a small towel with hot water and hold it against your face until it cools down.

Rub shaving oil into your skin. good oil for shaving can facilitate subsequent shaving. Look for ready-made shaving products that contain natural oils, such as jojoba oil, coconut oil, olive oil or sunflower oil. These types of oils help soften the hairs and do not interfere with the movement of the razor.

Wet the brush with hot water. Fill a bowl or mug with hot water. The water must be hot to soften the brush bristles. Let the brush soak in water for one or two minutes. Then take it out of the water and with a sharp movement of the wrist, shake off excess water from the shaving brush.

• The highest quality shaving brushes are made using badger hair. Boar bristle brushes are cheaper, and synthetic brushes are considered the lowest quality.
• Of course, soap foam can be applied to the face and hands, but it will be much more convenient to work with a shaving brush.

1. Fill a mug with shaving cream or soap suds. Empty the previously used water from the mug or bowl. Put some shaving cream or a whole cap of soap suds in it. Shaving soap is a cheaper option and is made with a mixture of fatty vegetable oils and glycerin. Shaving cream is similar in functionality to soap, while it is better to choose the cream that contains such essential oils like jojoba oil or coconut oil.

   • Refrain from using conventional gels and shaving foam. Although they can also be used, they will not give you the same close shave as good shaving soaps and creams.

2. Beat the foam with a brush. Place the wet shaving brush into the mug. Beat them with soap suds or cream. The longer you beat the product used, the thicker the foam will become.

   Apply the whipped foam to the regrown stubble on your face. Scoop up the foam with a brush. Using the shaving brush in a circular motion, spread the foam over the entire area that needs to be shaved, making sure not to miss a single hair. Once the face is covered with a sufficient amount of foam, remove excess foam from the face with a few additional strokes of the shaving brush.

   Shaving with straight razor

   1. Pinch the neck of the razor between your thumb and the next three fingers. Despite the presence of a wooden or plastic handle on the razor, you do not need to take it. Instead, slide your thumb under the neck of the razor (which connects the blade to the handle). In this case, the index, middle and ring fingers should be located on the other side of the neck. Finally, the little finger should be applied to the shank of the razor sticking out of the handle on the opposite side of the neck of the razor.

      • This is the basic way a razor is gripped and many people adjust it over time for greater comfort and better razor control.

   2. Place the blade against the skin at a 30° angle. The blade must not be applied either parallel to or perpendicular to the skin. It should be directed towards the skin at a slight angle. In this case, the protruding handle of the razor should be somewhere near your nose.

      Stretch the skin of the face with the second hand. Start on one side of the face. With your free hand, pull the skin here to straighten and smooth it. Do this for every area you shave for a closer shave with fewer accidental cuts.

      Shave your cheeks in the direction of hair growth. Holding the razor at the right angle, start shaving from the top of your cheek. Since the hair will grow downwards here, also move down towards the lower jaw and chin. Work gently with smooth, controlled downward strokes of the razor. Rinse the blade and pick up where you left off. Rinse your razor after each shave. Shave your face on both sides.

      • Even experienced straight razor users make mistakes sometimes. At the very beginning, you will definitely cut. Do not despair. If you cut yourself, press the skin in this place for several minutes or treat the cut with a hemostatic powder.

   3. Shave your chin and upper lip. The easiest way is to shave the chin, continuing to move from the cheeks. The skin in this area is easy to cut, so work in short, gentle strokes towards the bottom of the chin. Tighten your lips as you shave the area around them.

      Shave your neck and under your jaw. All other areas are shaved in the same way as the cheeks. Tilt your head back, pull your lower jaw up with your free hand and begin to shave the submandibular area with a downward stroke of the razor. After shaving the skin directly under the jaw, go down to the neck.

      Apply the foam again to the face and go over it a second time with a razor already across the direction of hair growth. This time the razor will move from one side to the other. The pressure on the razor is no longer as hard as before. Move from the ears to the center of the face. Rinse your razor after every stroke across your face.

      • If you're just learning how to shave, consider having your second pass across your face also consist of downward strokes of the razor. This will help you get used to holding the razor without creating additional risk of cuts.

   4. Lather again on your face and shave in the opposite direction of hair growth. Wash your face with hot water again and apply cream or soap suds to your face. The third pass with the razor across the face will provide the smoothest shave. Start work from the bottom of the neck. Be extremely careful not to cut yourself.

      Rinse your face with cold water after shaving. Cold water will moisturize the skin and close the pores. You can also use an aftershave lotion or balm that contains hazel or bay water to relieve irritation. Apply with a tapping motion rather than rubbing into the skin.

      Wipe your razor dry. Wipe the razor blade clean with a soft cloth or toilet paper. It is important to remove all moisture from the blade so that it does not rust. Keep your razor away from moisture and steam.

      • If you want to store your razor for a long time, pre-lubricate it with an oil, such as camellia oil.

      Using a Straight Razor Straightening Strap

      Hang the belt on furniture. The straight razor strap will have a hook to attach to a stable surface such as a headboard or bathroom cabinet handle. After each shave or sharpening, the razor needs to be straightened on the belt. Editing allows you to smooth the edges of the blade for a more comfortable shave.

      • The canvas side of the belt is well suited for dressing the razor blade between shaves. Use the leather side of the belt after sharpening.

   5. Attach the razor blade to the end of the belt farthest from you. Pull the belt tight with your free hand. Bring the razor blade to the end of the belt farthest from you. Hold the razor by the neck with the sharp edge away from you.

      Run the blade along the belt towards you. Make sure the belt is taut, otherwise you'll end up with a dull razor. Run the blade along the entire length of the belt, pressing it against the belt. Apply light pressure to the razor and do not remove it from the belt.

      Flip the razor over and run it backwards over the belt. Roll the razor over the blunt edge of the blade to the other side. Do not turn the razor over the sharp edge or touch the belt with it. The sharp edge of the blade should now be facing you. Run the razor over the belt in the other direction in the same way as you did before.

      Repeat the above steps until you straighten the blade. Usually it is required to pass the razor over the belt about 30 times, or 15 times in both directions. Know that it is impossible to overdo it when dressing a blade on a belt. At the very beginning, move slowly and carefully. As you develop the skill, you will start to do it faster and you will realize that dressing the blade on the belt takes almost no of your time.

      Razor sharpening

      Wipe and oil the whetstone. First, wipe the whetstone with a towel to remove any residual dirt from it. Then lubricate the stone with cold water, oil or shaving cream. This will protect it from overheating and chipping off particles that could damage the razor blade.

IN modern fashion the tradition of bladed (dangerous) shaving is gradually returning. With the right technique, the male accessory significantly reduces the number of passes of the blade over the skin due to its length, eliminating further irritation of the epidermis, and also gives a lot of pleasure, because it removes hairs without additional effort.

Let's take a closer look at questions about choosing the best blade, how to shave with a straight razor, and what to do about scratches and cuts.

Benefits of wet shaving

Most men prefer a dry shaving technique, justifying this with maximum convenience: the procedure can be performed anywhere, and the face does not need to be moistened with water (shaving cream and a razor are used). But this method is chosen by those who have not experienced all the advantages of the wet shaving method. The main ones are the absence of inflammatory processes of the skin, a poorly shaved face.

The wet method technique involves the use of a two- or three-blade disposable razor, but in order to save money and process efficiency, you can purchase a reusable simple but straight razor.

Ideally, the hygiene procedure is best performed immediately after taking a shower. Hot water will relax the muscles of the face, open the pores and soften the hair. You can use another method - attach a warm, damp towel to your face for 5-10 minutes.
Discomfort during the wet shaving technique occurs in the case of a long beard. The hair is not cut, but pulled out. In this case, it is better to cut them and only then proceed with the procedure.

What should a beginner pay attention to when choosing a hazard?

The market has wide choose brands under which straight razors are made, but only a few are worthy of attention. These include German manufacturers with a centuries-old history of producing men's accessories with dangerous blades: Boker, Robert Klaas, Dovo and Hubert. The price of such razors is in the range of $ 80-120.

The following recommendations will help you choose the right shavetka:

• Blade material. Blades are made from carbon or stainless steel. From the side of the convenience of the hair removal procedure, it is better to make a choice in favor of the first material, and if the life expectancy of the product (the absence of a corrosion process) is in the first place, then you can look at the stainless steel;
• Handle material. There are no restrictions at this point, since the quality of the shave will not suffer from this. Knowledgeable people speak of the hilt as a setting and seek to acquire it from ivory, wood, tortoise shell, etc.;
• Form. A slightly concave blade adapts better to the unevenness of the face, but straight blades cannot be called a safe shave;
• Brand. A quality tool should have only an embossed mark on the blade. The applied image with paint indicates a low quality of fear or a fake under a well-known brand. The absence of a label also indicates low quality goods;
• The butt and cutting edge should be thin;
• Correct design. Classical shavetka is made of one or several parts. If the blade is hidden in the handle, then the fastening of these components is made in the form of a rivet (without springs), which is the axis of rotation of the blade. It helps to freely open or close the tool;
• Sharpening. All quality products famous brands do not have a sharpening that allows you to perfectly remove hair from the face.

Before the first use, the blade must be sharpened.

Of all the options for buying a new razor, you should stop at a specialty store that sells men's accessories and gifts, or try ordering products directly from the manufacturer.

Shaving with a dangerous razor correctly

You can learn how to use a dangerous hair removal tool by following step-by-step recommendations. The instruction involves the implementation of a certain technique and the exclusion of incorrect actions that lead to skin damage.

Step 1.
You need to start from one side of the face, for example, the right one. Left hand bring it behind the head and pull the cheek up with your fingers, providing a smooth skin surface for the blade to glide perfectly. Move from top to bottom at an angle of 30 0C, without pressure. Large deviations in the angle will lead to cuts or poor hygiene. Shaving against hair growth is not recommended. Because this will lead to ingrown hairs into the skin and irritation. After processing the right cheek, you should continue shaving the lower part of the face, tilting your head to the left and throwing it back.
Attention should also be paid to the bristles under the jaw. Also, with your left hand, stretch the skin and shave in the direction of hair growth (from top to bottom).

Step 2
Handle with a dangerous blade left side it will be more difficult due to the fact that you need to change hands and shave with your left. With insufficient skill, the hand can not be changed, then the technique of the first step will change.

Pull the skin above the ear with the fingers of the left hand. Hold the razor so as not to restrict the visibility of the top of the blade. Perform the procedure from top to bottom. As the instrument is moved, the fingers should also descend and stretch the skin of the lower cheek and chin.

The procedure for removing hair under the jaw and on the neck of the left side of the face is the same as in step 1.
Step 3
The shaving technique above the upper lip is no different from the right and left sides of the face. It is necessary to pull the upper lip down hard to ensure that the skin is smooth for the blade to glide easily.
Step 4
Removing hair from the chin involves pulling the lower lip up. Blade movement - according to hair growth.
Step 5
Shaving under the chin requires great care, as the skin in this area is particularly delicate and sensitive.
It is necessary to tilt the head back and tighten the muscles of the chin, pull the skin down with the fingers of the left hand. For effective shaving, the movement of the tool must be in the direction of hair growth, across and against. Without skill, it is better to limit yourself to re-passing the blade from top to bottom.

A visual sequence of shaving with a dangerous razor can be viewed on the video.

1. It will be determined in the way of grasping fears. Distinguish:
   • Canonical. The tool is held with the cutting edge up and down. To use the canonical grip correctly, you need to practice. For this, an inexpensive shavetka is purchased (a straight razor with replaceable blades).
   • Free. The method does not have a specific technique for holding the tool and is expressed in a free, user-friendly technique.
2. What grip would not be chosen in the process of using the tool, the ability to relax the hand during a dangerous process and feel the inertia of the device plays a significant role;
3. Use shaving foam;
4. After each pass, wash your face with warm water and apply foam again (shown in the video);
5. In the process, it is necessary to moisten the apprehension with water to avoid the drying of the foam;
6. Finish the process correctly. Barbers recommend taking care of your skin. First, rinse your face with cool water, then use a softening or moisturizing lotion that prevents skin irritation.
7. The final procedure, but optional, is the application of a small amount of talc.

Proper use of caution

Before the first and subsequent uses, the shavetka is completely washed in a soapy solution, rinsed, and wiped dry with a waffle towel.

With rare use, it is recommended to lubricate the tool with machine oil and wrap it with paraffin paper. Frequent use excludes these actions, it is enough to store it in a dry place (not in the bathroom).
Dressing on a belt made of cowhide or soft yuft is an obligatory procedure for caring for the instrument. It is carried out before shaving so that burrs do not form on the blade.

The tool must only be used for its intended purpose. Touching other objects and impacts will damage the cutting edge.

If properly stored and carefully used, a men's skin care accessory will last a lifetime!

How to deal with scratches and cuts?

Skin damage is inevitable if a man:

• Uses a blunt, too concave tool;
• Uses incorrect (loose) razor grip;
• Shaves against hair growth, not having sufficient skill in technique;
• in a hurry;
• Tenses his hand.

Even experienced barbers can cut their client's skin on the face, so before you learn how to shave with caution, you need to go through a thorny path, accompanied by scratches and cuts.

You can stop the blood from a minor cut by pressing it with your finger, a large wound should be treated with an antiseptic and sealed with a plaster.

We answer all the questions about shaving with a straight razor that a beginner may have.

What do you need for a dangerous shave?

Necessarily:
straight razor.
The razor needs to be sharp so it will glide easily. Otherwise, you will want to make an effort and make the angle between the blade and the skin larger, and this is fraught with cuts and severe irritation.
straightening belt.
Straighten your razor before every shave, read how to do it right.
soap or shaving cream + shaving brush.
aftershave.

Optional:
hot compress towel
alum from accidental cuts.

Everything you need to shave, in addition to the straight razor and straightening strap. Optional: Muehle cotton towel, Omega shaving brush, alum stick, shaving soap and Proraso lotion

How to prepare the skin?

We have a post about different ways to prepare for a shave, you can choose any one you like. We advise you to steam your face well with a hot compress and, if any, apply a preshave. The skin will become less vulnerable, there will be less irritation after, the bristles will soften and be easier to remove. After that, you can apply foam.

Why is balloon foam not suitable?

Unlike self-whipped, balloon foam is not moist enough and does not give such a slip, so dangerous shaving becomes more traumatic with it. If you shave cautiously, prepare the foam yourself - with a brush of soap or cream.

There is nothing difficult with the application of foam, but there is a nuance: if there are features on the skin (moles, warts, brown bumps), you need to remove the soap from them and thereby designate the place where they are located. They cannot be shaved with a dangerous razor: a sharp blade can easily cut off all the protrusions.

If the foam dries up in the process, lather your face again, do not shave dry.

How to keep the fear?

The correct grip is needed so that the fear in the hand is fixed. During shaving, it should be one with the brush. It is with a brush, and not with a razor, that all movements are made. The tool itself remains motionless.

Method one, when the sting looks down. Little finger - on the tail; ring, middle and index fingers - on top of the earl; large at the bottom, rests on the heel (to understand what we are talking about, look). The second method is the same as the first, only the sting looks up.

You can put two fingers on the tail - the little finger and the ring finger. The main thing is that you feel comfortable and the razor is well fixed.

How to apply the blade to the skin and does it need to be angled?

Usually it is advised to put the blade at 30 ° to the skin, in fact - this is not necessary at all. The larger the angle (that is, the more you tear the butt off the skin), the higher the aggressiveness. But high aggressiveness is not only a clean shave, but also the risk of ingrown hairs, cuts, irritation. When you're just learning, you don't need it.

Hold the blade flat without tearing off the butt, this will not be a mistake. You will shave without any problems, however, it will not come out as clean as with a given angle, but in the process it will be much easier and more comfortable for you.

Blade at 30° to the skin and blade flat

In order for the blade not to stick when you apply it to the skin, it must be dry, so when shaving, do not rinse the blade, but wipe it on a soft cloth (on a waffle towel, for example). By the way, this way the tool will last longer: you won’t accidentally hit it on the faucet when you rinse it, and you will save it from unnecessary contact with water (they don’t like water to be afraid).

While shaving, do not rinse, but wipe the razor on a cloth, as shown in the figure

How is shaving done?

Working cautiously is easy and intuitive, but don't expect perfect results right away. Fill your hand gradually and do not rush. A little practice and patience - and everything will work out. At first, shaving requires calmness and concentration, so it is best to do it in the evening, when nothing distracts you and you have enough free time.

In the process, only the brush works, the razor is fixed. The movements are light, frequent, beveling. The blade glides and removes hair easily, no pressure or effort required. No need to scrape and try to shave off as much as possible in one movement - we work with light, short strokes.

In the process, help yourself: pull the skin with your fingers in the opposite direction to the movement of the blade. The skin should not "gather" under the blade and "sag", otherwise there will be a cut.

Before moving on to the face, with its complex relief, we advise you to practice: try shaving the area on the arm or leg.

How many passes can you make?

No more than three - according to hair growth, against growth and across. Do not try to scrape to perfect smoothness, otherwise there will be severe irritation. Leave unshaved areas until the next shave, next time you work the blade in a different direction.

Over time, when you study your face, understand how the bristles grow on it, how to shave, you will be able to shave perfectly clean and three passes will be enough for you.

Is it safe to cut yourself?

Getting cut with a straight razor is easy and hard at the same time. Still, the instinct of self-preservation will save you from severe cuts. If you do everything right, it is impossible to imagine that you could inflict any serious injury on yourself. On the other hand, small cuts, especially at first, are not uncommon. They take a long time to heal, just be careful and keep alum on hand.

In order not to get hurt badly, you can not:
- hurry;
- shave moles and other protrusions on the skin;
- catch fear if it slips out of your hands. So you can get seriously injured, it's better to let him fall!

These days, the idea of ​​shaving with a straight razor is shrouded in mystique. For most, this is a mysterious ritual. However, this mysterious ritual, in fact, is the only way to achieve that degree of closeness of a shave that distinguishes a real gentleman. This classic method is a kind of art, accessible only to barbers and movie characters, as most people think. But is it? In fact, the art of using a straight razor can be learned at home. Thanks to our instructions, with a good tool and some practice, you can easily achieve the same result as in a professional salon. Speaking of good tools - we recommend Dovo products - great straight razors and accessories at affordable prices.

How best to prepare a beard

Shaving is not only the end result, but the process itself. To make it as comfortable as possible, the face must be prepared. Heat and water expand pores and make hair softer and easier to cut. If you plan to shave before showering, we recommend soaking a towel in hot water and applying it to your face. Just a few minutes, and the pores will expand, and hair follicles will become softer.

If you prefer to shave after showering, we recommend applying conditioner first, rinsing it off right before you go out. Together with the warmth of the water, this will also help soften the skin. The effect is like a hot towel. Essentially, a towel is traditional way, but any type of heat treatment and humidification will do. Especially if you are limited in time.

Oil treatment

When the pores expand, they will need to be protected. Use a special oil on the entire surface of the shave. In addition to protection, the oil also:

- moisturize the skin

- will make the movement of the blade smoother, reduce resistance

- will create an antiseptic effect

- soothe sensitive skin

Foam preparation

In the case of a straight razor, ordinary foams and gels are not suitable. It is necessary to use a special cream or soap. Squeeze a small amount into a container and carefully move with a brush until a dense substance is formed that will not drip. Then apply it on your beard in a circular motion, so as to miss each hair. This way the foam will lift the hair off the skin and the razor will be able to go as close to the skin as possible. In addition, well-prepared foam serves as an additional barrier between the skin and the blade.

How to hold a razor

When you pick up a straight razor for the first time, it will seem completely alien and unusual to you compared to disposable razors. But with a little care and practice, this classic facial will become an extension of your fingers. With practice, you will learn how to hold a razor. different ways(for example, to shave better the area under the nose). But let's start with perhaps the most common method of holding, familiar to almost everyone who uses a straight razor. So, we put the ring, middle and index fingers on the side opposite the blade, the little finger at the end (the tail of the blade, which is located behind the connection with the handle), the thumb is located on the side of the blade just below it. This method of holding will allow you to fully control the movements.

razor and will allow you to successfully complete the shave. As you gain experience, you can explore other ways, many of them are described on our website.

How to shave with a straight razor

With your free hand, pull the skin tight on your cheek in the opposite direction of the blade. Hold the razor at about a 30-degree angle to the surface of your face and slowly begin to move in the direction of hair growth. Then change the direction of movement of the blade and, accordingly, the tension of the skin with your hand. Facial hair grows in different directions, which means that they also need to be treated in different ways, until all the intended areas have been shaved. Important points are speed and force. Move the blade slowly and evenly so as to shave the hairs as close to the skin as possible. After a while, you yourself will determine the rhythm of the process, the most comfortable for the skin and for holding the razor. Shaving in the direction of hair growth is the safest in terms of cuts and irritation. However, those who want to achieve especially smooth skin can try to shave across the hair growth and even against it. Remember to moisturize your skin and apply new lather to ensure smooth blade movement. At some point, you only need three blade strokes over the same area (along, across, and against hair growth) to achieve a perfectly clean-shaven face.

After Shave

Moisten skin with cold water immediately after shaving. This will close the pores. Further - to your taste. You can use lotions or balms after shaving. For some, however, they can cause a dry effect or, conversely, oily skin. In this case, we recommend using a natural-based balm. It will soothe the skin and make it look fresh and healthy.

How to deal with cuts

Let's be honest - the first shave with a straight razor will not do without cuts at all. Treat them as a kind of rite of passage. Remember them and your skill will grow. Even the most professional barbers will hurt their client.

To minimize the chance of cuts, you need to remember the most common causes their occurrence:

- dull blade

- wrong razor grip

- too much pressure

- too much speed

- shaving across and against hair growth

The art of shaving with a straight razor may seem very complicated at first glance. But only for the first. Just find your ideal rhythm and take care of your skin the right way. A little time, and the blade will become an extension of your hands, and perfectly smooth skin will become a daily pleasure.
