Bill Hines replied to Sarah Lashley's discussion Shaving Regime"Plus multi-blade razors are nearly impossible to clean the gunk out of between shaves. It breeds bacteria that gets into the hair follicle and causes irritation and redness."
John Schaefer replied to Sarah Lashley's discussion Shaving Regime"I had the same problem until I started shaving with a straight razor. Soften the hair (a nice hot shower will do) lather with a brush and shaving soap, then shave with the straight. Follow with a hot towel and the after shave of your choice. Never…"
"Don't you mean Jermyn Street? Its where I get my shirts made."
Michael Salazar replied to Sarah Lashley's discussion Shaving Regime"I'd suggest he start using a straight razor or a double-edge (DE) safety razor. Ingrown hairs are a problem because of the "lift-and-cut" system that disposable razors employ these days. The straight razors and DEs only have one edge…"
"I also rock a straight razor and have found that it makes you focus much more on the shave and thus avoid razor burn. You have to take your time(20-30 minutes), which is good in a world where everyone is rushing around. The only difference in our…"
Michael J. Austin replied to Sarah Lashley's discussion Shaving Regime"For me, on my work days I shave in the shower to get a close shave as I tend to take hot showers. On my off days, I use my mug and brush at the sink taking my time to get a close shave. I will give my face a break only once a week from shaving as my…"

Dave Payne replied to Sarah Lashley's discussion Shaving Regime"I used to get razor burn on my face all the time with safety razors, it's not been a problem with a straight razor. Check out straightrazorplace on the internet, it's great. The best shaving soap I've found is made by Colleen Hurley…"
Joseph L. Rogers replied to Sarah Lashley's discussion Shaving Regime"I'm impressed. This is OBVIOUSLY a man who takes his shaving seriously, and is an articulate writer."
Chris Reed replied to Sarah Lashley's discussion Shaving Regime"my shaving regime:
1 Pick and prepare razor:
I use straight razors, so I try to pick one that I did not use yesterday, or the day before. After I've picked my razor I give it a quick sharpen on a hanging leather strop, then a quick rinse to…"
Jared Payton replied to Sarah Lashley's discussion Shaving Regime"While the stock answer for many of us would be for your friend to switch to a DE, I think that's a bit further down the road for him. Probably some basic things would make life easier. 1) A good shaving cream. If you have to go canned (ugh)…"
Zach Bacik replied to Sarah Lashley's discussion Shaving Regime"Sometimes, it depends on what he's using. We here would all like to pretend that a safety razor works the best for everyone, but some skin responds better to an electric shaver. If he hasn't experienced both, recommend that he try the…"
Hallock replied to Sarah Lashley's discussion Shaving Regime"He actually may want to go to his doctor. Most men have in-grown hairs because they've never learned to shave properly, but people who are born with curly hair have it much more difficult. There are a wide array of products for African-American…"
Brett McKay replied to Sarah Lashley's discussion Shaving Regime"Shave with grain and not against. This one thing will reduce razor burn and ingrown hairs 99% of the time."

The Barbershop
It's just seems natural that Art of Manliness should have a barbershop group. My intent of this group is to gather and share general thoughts and experiences concerning barbershops. Anything from a good barbershop that you have found to pictures and stories of shops you have visited to discussing anything barbershop. See More
