Ask Aaron Q/A: Beard shaping with a double edge razor

Aaron is asked a question about beard shaping with a double edge safety razor
Bhavin Morjaria, from the UK, asks:
“I shape a beard along my jawline. Currently use a Mach 3 and a disposable razor to shape closer. Would it be easier to use a double edge razor to get the shaping? Which razor would you recommend? Is the Merkur Slant good? Also with the slant do you only need one pass due to the blade angle? I only use do one pass at the moment.”
Shaping a beard can easily be done with a DE razor
AARON SAYS
“Mr. Morjaria,
A DE razor is a most excellent way to shape your beard. It’s single edge gets you right to the edge of the hair line, almost, if not just as close as a straight razor. I sport a Van Dyke and have no problem shaping it how it needs to be with a DE razor. The Merkur Slant is an excellent razor but is very aggressive and if you are not familiar shaving with a double edge can lead to nicks and cuts. Try the Merkur 34c (aka HD or heavy duty), the Bluebeard’s Revenge Scimitar, or the Edwin Jagger DE89 to begin shaving with. Welcome to DE shaving and thanks for your question!
Smooth Shaving!
Aaron”
