So last camping trip with a group of friends, I had brought my straight and decided to set up a chair and give someone a straight razor shave. Worked out well. Gave two people a straight razor shave, old barber style.
In a few weeks, I'll have an opportunity to do it again.
Any tips on technique appreciated. I plan to avoid the whole goatee area and just do the sides.
Any tips on hygiene appreciated. In particular, straight vs shavette. I have the barbasol of course. Ten minute soak is code, so I do that. And that should sterilize a straight.
I prefere straights, but shavettes have the advantage, when shaving others, that you use a fresh blade for each person. I know that the law requires professional barbers to use shavettes. But is that unnecessary when the barbasol is there?
Thoughts appreciated.
