That shows fortitude in the face of intense ad campaigns telling you that more blades, more gel strips, more vibrating motors, and more anything else they can strap onto a razor handle is better for your face. Facts have a way of coming out in the end. And the fact about shaving is this: you don't need the latest in plastic cartridge technology to get a good shave with minimal effort. What's the alternative? The same thing our fathers and our grandfathers did, before disposable razor cartridges became widespread: the wet shave. Wet Shave Like A Professional – 2nd Edition 2017 – Copyright Real Men Real Style Page 3 Return to Table of Content A Step-by-Step Guide to Wet Shaving "Wet shave" is a cultural shorthand for a broad idea: shaving your face with a single-bladed metal razor, generally with cake soap or plain water instead of canned foam or gel. There's quite a purist culture of wet shavers out there, and it can intimidate a man who's used canned foam and a cartridge razor all his adult life. Depending on where you go for your information, the specifics of razor types, soap types, blade types, and more can get overwhelming. The purpose of this guide is to take things one day at a time and get you from a cartridge shave to a wet shave in a week -- without feeling frustrated. Take your time and go one day at a time. You don't need to be an expert in 24 hours. You don't even need to be an expert in a week -- you just need to be a guy who's comfortable shaving with lather and a single-bladed razor. Once you've made the transition, there's a whole world of details and specifics out there that you can get as invested in as you want. But these basic steps will get any guy shaving comfortably, without having to devote his whole life to the skill. Wet Shave Like A Professional – 2nd Edition 2017 – Copyright Real Men Real Style Page 4 Return to Table of Content Day 1: Get Educated Wet Shave Like A Professional – 2nd Edition 2017 – Copyright Real Men Real Style Page 5 Return to Table of Content Day 1: Get Educated If you're reading this, you probably already know the basics of wet shaving, or have at least some notion that you'd like to change from cartridge razors. But since every guy's heard slightly different information, take this first day to just look over the basics. Use this section to get a good idea what we're talking about, and why it's worth your while. What's the Problem with Cartridge Razors? For a lot of guys, we are talking about a transition from something they're used to, here. Disposable cartridges (and disposable razors, for that matter) have been the norm in America, and to a lesser degree in Europe, for about a generation. Wet Shave Like A Professional – 2nd Edition 2017 – Copyright Real Men Real Style Page 6 Return to Table of Content The case for cartridge razors is usually about convenience and shave quality. If you believe the manufacturers, a cartridge with multiple blades shaves closer and smoother than a single blade, and the process is quicker and easier. The convenience part is probably true. There's no denying that spritzing on some gel or foam and running a cartridge razor over your face a couple times is probably at least a little quicker than a wet shave with a safety razor. But the shave quality is pure hype -- you can get yourself baby- smooth with a basic single-bladed razor, and you can get a terrible, patchy shave with lots of painful nicks using a cartridge razor. Your technique and the frequency with which you change your blades have a lot more to do with your shave than the number of blades you're using. And that brings us to the biggest problem with cartridge razors -- those little bundles of extra blades are expensive. For good shaves, you want to be changing your blades every week or so. Maybe stretch it to two weeks if you don't shave every day, or if you've got high-quality blades, but in general -- every week. Less than that at the blade gets dulled and nicked, and those rough spots will miss hairs (leaving stubble) and catch on your skin (leaving cuts). Single blades for safety razors cost maybe a buck a piece for the classy brands; less if you go bulk. Cartridges, on the other hand, start about around $20 for a pack of four or six, and go upwards from there. Do the math and you'll realize that you're talking a difference of literally hundreds of dollars each year. Wet Shave Like A Professional – 2nd Edition 2017 – Copyright Real Men Real Style Page 7 Return to Table of Content And that -- along with the general cheapness of the product and the reliance on chemical gels and "soothing" strips -- is the big problem with cartridge razors. The Wet Shave Alternative - What's Involved? So all right -- you'd like to save some money, get a better product, and maybe feel a little more in control of your own shaving process. That's why you're here. What's involved in the transition? Not too much. A traditional wet shave requires four basic things: ● a single-bladed safety razor (generally metal) ● soap of some kind (generally cake soap in a mug) ● a brush to apply lather with ● water (generally warm) In a pinch, you can even do without the soap and brush (more on that later). Most of the transition comes down to knowing how to select the right equipment. Once you've got it, the shave itself is pretty familiar -- you'll need a little less force and a little more respect for the heavier razor, but it's the same basic motions as shaving with a plastic cartridge razor. Wet Shave Like A Professional – 2nd Edition 2017 – Copyright Real Men Real Style Page 8 Return to Table of Content Further Reading You don't need to know much more than that, but if you want to get into the whole wet shaving culture thing, it's got a strong online presence that you can check out.

  • Hair Is Made of Strong Elastic Strands of Protein Called Keratin. the Sources of Hair Are Very Small Tiny Pockets in Our Skin and Scalp Known As Follicles
    Hair Hair is made of strong elastic strands of protein called keratin. The sources of hair are very small tiny pockets in our skin and scalp known as follicles. These follicles are found together in groups of two to five each. Every follicle follows a life cycle of its own producing about six inches of hair a year for as long as four years before it falls out and then starts all over again after a short period. The basal tip of the hair in the scalp is known as papilla which is a small out-growth of the skin shaped like a doorknob and lying at the tip of the follicle. The papilla contains the blood vessels to supply nourishment to the hair. During the active period the new cell growth pushes the older part of the hair away from the papilla until the hair falls out. It is the pattern of cell growth at the papilla which determines whether hair grow straight, wavy or curly. The growth pattern usually becomes uneven during the adolescence when the hair growth is at its peak. It declines as we grow older. Though hair strands look as singular fibres, each hair is constructed in three different layers: the cuticle, the cortex and the medulla. Cuticle The cuticle is the outermost layer of the hair which provides protection to the inner cortex layer. It is made up of flattened, hard, horny cells. Cortex The cortex is the second layer of hair. The qualitative properties of strength, elasticity, pliability, direction and growth pattern, width and the texture of hair depend on the composition of the cortex.

  • Shaving Mug and Brush Set NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
    WTD 24 pgs 8-13 alt to 5:WTD 04 pgs 08-12 9/29/09 9:57 AM Page 8 Shaving Mug and Brush Set NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN by D.E. McIvor In Sharp Practice, author Anders Larsen reports that 90% of men shave at least once a day. That works out to about 20,000 shaves in an average lifetime or five months in front of the mirror. You could choose to sport a beard and find something else to do with those five months, or you could hit the workshop and come out with a project that makes shaving enjoyable. And don’t think this project is only for half the world’s population—women can covet the sensuous suds this set and a good bar of soap will produce. The shaving brush and mug set offers three of the four basic challenges in woodturning. The mug is face-turned, the brush handle is spindle-turned, and a good project will require careful design. A successful design is critical to small-scale turning, particularly when you hope to end up with a piece that is functional and comfortable to use—something that may actually make you want to hit the sink for that 17,574th shave! Because wood and water don’t mix, keep in mind when choosing raw material that you’re creating a piece that will spend its life in one of the harshest environments for wood. The mug, in particular, will get a lot of exposure to moisture with little opportunity to dry between uses. Although these pieces are small, you also want them to have some density.

  • Aftershave: a Truth Behind Iconic Fragrance
    PharmaTutor PRINT ISSN: 2394-6679 | E-ISSN: 2347-7881 5 Editorial Article Aftershave: a truth behind iconic fragrance Dhrubo Jyoti Sen Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Shri Sarvajanik Pharmacy College, Arvind Baug, Mehsana, Gujarat, India [email protected] ABSTRACT Aftershave is an important part of a man’s daily lifestyle routine. After shave is a liquid product applied to skin after shaving. It contains an antiseptic agent such as denatured alcohol, stearate/citrate or witch hazel to prevent infection of cuts, as well as to act as an astringent to reduce skin irritation. Menthol is used in some varieties as well to numb damaged skin and it is an ingredient that shaving cream manufacturers have started including in their formulations, too. Aftershave with alcohol usually causes an immediate burning sensation when applying it post-shave, with effects sometimes lasting several minutes, but most commonly only for seconds. For this reason, a market consisting of highly differentiated products has been created—some using alcohols, some not. Some aftershaves use fragrance or essential oil to enhance scent. Moisturizers—natural and artificial, are often touted as able to soften the skin. Rinse your face and neck with cool water next to help close up your pores before you apply the aftershave. Do not apply aftershave immediately after you have finished shaving since doing so might make your skin sore or irritated. Pat your face and neck dry gently with a towel. As you shave, feel free to keep applying shaving cream. When you're done shaving, wash the area generously with lots of warm water.
