ok- so I decided to start learning to wet shave. I’ve heard the legends of the ‘svelty’ Smooth single blade wet shave that makes no bumps, burns, or ingrown hairs.
In tackling this learning curve, I have encountered beard mapping, lathersmithing. Multiple pass growth reduction, and a whole host of other foreign thoughts.
For both financial and learning curve sake, I thought maybe it would be a good idea to learn a safety razor first, even knowing my eventual goal was straight razor shaving.
Now, as I experience frustration with the safety razor, I begin to wonder- am I signing myself up for double thenaggrivation? Should I start in on tutorials and videos for straight shave, or do enought skills overlap and translated that learning the safety razor will, indeed help smooth the transition?
