The Art of Shaving: Shaving Made Easy

56

This isn't a book about using an electric razor or those mass manufactured multi-blade razors you buy in bulk at the local store. This is a book for men who are real men shaving or wanting to learn how to shave with a straight blade razor. If you've ever tried before and failed, The Art of Shaving or Shaving Made Easy is the book for you.

Where once lathering up in front of a mirror with a brush of badger was seen as something "old guys do", appreciation of the straight razor shave has come full circle. Almost universally known to give a far better shave than the modern cassette style safety razors, and resharpenable to boot, the straight is seen by many not just as a nostalgic piece of personal grooming equipment, but as an integral part of the daily morning ritual.

From how to buy a razor, shaving with the straight edge, even down to strop and hone, this book covers it all. Easy to read and very informative.

Factoid: There are about 30,000 whiskers surrounding a man's face and, on average, his beard will grow 5.5 inches per year.
