Switch Off Premature Aging

DR-40103Resourceful people will tell you canned shaving cream is very handy because you can also use it to replace your WD-40 to stop door squeaks, use it as a paint remover, use it as a stain remover for clothing, and use it as a bathroom cleaner. Is it any wonder some of these products may promote premature aging of the skin? Consider a switch to wet shaving using a well balanced and nourishing shaving cream or soap. A minute is all it takes to build your own lather. This small commitment and a shaving brush can help to rejuvenate your skin as well as provide an improved glide when shaving. A myriad of fragrance and composition choices virtually ensures a pleasurable if not mesmerizing experience. Complete your regimen using a matched post-shave product to ensure adequate nourishment, protection and pH balance. These healthy choices come with no additional investment. Our products cost about the same as alternatives.

Navigating the Terrain (Knowing Your Grain)

If your shave doesn’t regularly yield nearly perfect results with little to no irritation then you might be facing the fact that you don’t know the facts about your face. Many of our customers have benefited from learning the basic principle of shaving mentioned here. For the record, the second-most cause of irritation not related to product selection is failing to lather for each pass. A surprising number of men were performing their final pass without applying lather first. Lather is used as a buffer and lubricant. It doesn’t matter how much stubble is left on your face. The lather protects your skin by reducing the friction of the blade.

The best premium lather won’t give you any advantage if your skin lacks hydration. Perhaps that is why 84% of men use pre-shave products to improve comfort. For some skin or beard types even a hot shower isn’t quite enough. A pre-shave balm or oil can help provide that additional hydration to keep your blade gliding smoothly.

The illustration below shows areas of the face and neck where the direction of hair growth is typically different from surrounding areas. Barbers shave customers according to these zones. Depending on their style and date of training they may specifically address from 14 to 25 zones on your face and neck to give you that perfect shave. The illustration depicts 20 zones. You can even use an interactive beard grain map and print the results to keep for reference to help you give yourself the best shave possible.

Beard grain map - blank

Let your stubble grow sufficiently so that you can see which direction it grows, or massage your lathered face and neck with the intention to discover through touch which direction your stubble is growing. Visualize or record your findings on a map such as provided here.

The most sensitive skin might not allow shaving in any other than in the same direction of hair growth, or “with the grain”. Since shaving is the gradual reduction of hair through successive passes it can be enough to simply shave with the grain, re-lather, then shave with the grain again. You won’t get that BBS (“baby bottom smooth”) finish but you will be “presentable” and relatively irritation free. Most skin types can tolerate a second pass perpendicular to the direction of hair growth, or “across the grain”. Many men, especially those who insist on a BBS face will perform a final pass opposite the direction of hair growth, or “against the grain”. This is the pass with the most potential for irritation and should never be performed until stubble has been greatly reduced. Shaving against the direction of growth can promote irritation, and a regular habit of it can promote in-grown hair although this can be reduced by using a single blade or twin blade razor. More blades provide more lifting increasing the chance of skin healing over the stubble forcing it to grown inward. Antiseptic post-shave products are recommended for those who shave against the grain. Natural alum is a popular choice for its antiseptic and astringent properties.

The road to a great shave is described in the map of the grain of your beard. Follow that map with a quality lather and sharp edge and you will be on your way to discovering a love of shaving.

Safely Dispose of Used Razor Blades

Due to the risk of injury and the spreading of disease it is important to safely store and dispose of your used razor blades.  We provide an all-metal razor bank to safely store your used double edge razor blades.  You can separate the two piece container and transfer the blades into another container for safe disposal by placing tape over the slot then turning the bank upside down and lifting off the base plate, or you can use masking tape to seal the slot then prevent accidental opening of the container by running the tape around the bank vertically so as to bind the bank housing to the base plate.  Be liberal with the tape and use a marker to label the container with “Bio Hazard” and/or “Used Razor Blades”.  Dispose with your trash or according to your local ordinances.

Used multi-blade cartridges such as Gillette’s Mach3 and Fusion should be returned to a slot in the cartridge tray.  When all cartridges have been retired the entire tray should be wrapped in masking tape and disposed of with your trash.  Individual cartridges with no tray to call home and shaving heads on disposable razors should be individually wrapped in tape and disposed with your trash or according to your local ordinances.

Keep your family, guests and waste management workers safe.  Masking tape is an efficient and inexpensive solution to the problem of safe disposable of used razor blades.  We provide an all-metal razor bank at no charge with the purchase of a double edge razor.  Replacement razor banks are only $2 including HST.  You can even make your own razor bank using other metal containers such as a can of broth.  There is no solid matter to clog the slot you make to drain and rinse the can if you use broth.  The appropriately sized slot will accept your used blades for safe storage (seal with tape then label as above prior to disposal).
