Folks.
We all know that men are supposed to plaster their faces with canned goo and frazzle the skin with a gazillion blades at once to get the, well, best a man can get. And it's not secret that the ad campaigns for industrial shaving stuff aim right at our teens - succesfully so. My brother's youngest one just had the epiphany of traditional wetshaving being ridiculously uncool, he wants a Fusion. Instant foam, expensive cartridges, cheap aqua cool wave splash fresh power kick scents, the whole package.
But imagine your son grew a little older. Started using a blade, a brush, a soap - good stuff. And now he came to you, asking for your one advice for a good, close shave. What would that be, in your case?
My advice would be - Lather. Do your first pass. Then - mix some more lather, but this time add five, six drops of almond oil. Oil you'll say? Water and oil isn't an option since the beard won't be soaked? But the beard IS already soaked from pass one. And during the second pass, the oil will give a fantastic, slick shave when it matters most.
Now you!
