How To Get The Best Shave Of Your Life - Double Edge Safety Razor Wet Shaving
About this video
Weston and her fiancé Dorian discuss men’s face shaving techniques and tools, comparing different razor types and arguing that double-edge razors offer the best combination of shave quality, cost-effectiveness, and environmental benefits. They walk through a complete shaving routine, from beard mapping and tool preparation to multi-pass techniques and aftercare.
Key takeaways
- Weston argues that creating a beard map to identify hair growth direction is essential before shaving, as it significantly impacts technique and skin irritation
- Weston recommends double-edge razors over cartridge razors for superior shaves, lower cost per blade, and better environmental impact
- Weston advocates a methodical shaving process: warm preparation, quality lather application, shaving with the grain first, optional across-the-grain passes, and proper aftercare with toner and aftershave
