Many men today are re-discovering the fine art of a straight shave and ditching their disposable razors for a more conventional means of grooming. Shaving is an important ritual that most men deal with each morning.
An excellent shave is an indication of maturity, class, and fashion. A professional man is always well groomed and his shave ought to always be on point. A straight shave is an excellent way to achieve this appearance.
A razor cut shave is a traditional technique used for many years to achieve a smooth, well-groomed style for men. Contrary to a two-blade safety razor, a straight razor is one blade razor which is extremely sharp and, when not in use, is tucked away into a protective sleeve. Straight razors give an extremely close shave which results in the smoothest skin possible. Using this method allows for clean, even lines of facial hair to achieve a well-groomed, manicured beard or mustache.
Rediscover an old-fashioned shave with Lyn Heathcock's Hair.
How to Use a Straight Razor
There are a couple steps to attaining the greatest razor shave. At Lyn Heathcock's Hair, I am professionally trained and experienced in the art of the straight-shave. Prior to any shaving, I will sit you in recliner chair and make it possible for you to relax. I will then place a pre-shave moisturizing cream to prep the skin followed by a gentle lathering cleanser on your face so that it softens the skin and the hair follicles to permit for a simple, close shave.
Then, I will place a hot towel on your face. This relaxing step allows for the hair follicles to become tender, smooth and easy to control. After that comes a top quality, salon standard shaving lotion, and I start to shave your face. I will always shave with the grain to avoid any ingrown hairs from forming. To finish the session, I will apply a soothing after shave cream and you are all set and ready to go.
