When you ask a wet shaving enthusiast what drew them to explore wet shaving many lead with a statement that tips a nostalgic nod to the days of old when real men created their own lather with real shaving soap and a shaving brush. You can’t help but admit it does bring a sense of manliness to a routine that often depends on using a rather uninspiring molded plastic instrument much like the one their female companion uses to shave her legs. We ought to be greatful the safety razor, straight razor and fine handles that accomodate popular razor cartridges are available for those of us with a slightly elevated sense of Machismo who would endeavour to groom ourselves as differently from our female counterparts as possible. No matter what you shave with or what happens there’s always alum to seal, protect and promote healing of nicks and cuts as well as to disinfect and tone the skin post-shave.
The superior buffer and glide of a quality wet shaving soap or cream can improve your shave regardless of the type of razor you use whether it be cartridge, disposable, double edge or straight. No one can take away from you that timeless experience when the fragrance of a freshly infused lather fills the room. If you are using a wet shaving soap or cream you are a wet shaver. If your grooming arsenal includes a fine handle to house whatever type and number of blades you enjoy most you just might be a gentleman. No matter your inclination we invite you to recommend your fellows (riff raff, scrappers, gents, the whole lot!) to visit our little nook of civilization inside (F8) Fate Salon in Fort Erie’s historic downtown. Please remember F8 is temporarily located at 96 Jarvis Street while construction and renovation are completed at 31 Jarvis Street where we they will also be joined by Atrium Spa where together we can provide ladies and gentlemen with full product and service support for everything to do with grooming and pampering.
