Shaving myths exposed!!
When it comes to men’s wet shaving there are many myths and misconceptions out there about what you should or shouldn’t be doing.
Over the next few weeks the experts at the Shaving Shack will be looking at a few of these common myths.
We start with the question: Is it always necessary to shave downwards, or ‘go with the grain’?
The answer to this very popular question is no. It is certainly ok to go against the grain and the direction of growth. This may be easier for those with thicker beards and skin that isn’t as sensitive, but can still be achieved by anybody for the closest possible shave.
Please check back later this week for the second common shaving myth.
 Tom, a self-proclaimed 'Real Man', is the manager of The Shaving Shack shop and expert shaving advisor. He has previously been in the Canadian Special Forces (Echo Force) and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (booted out for alleged but unproven misconduct). He has also been a lumberjack (developed the 'Human Chainsaw" technique). He relocated to the UK to become an offshore Firefighter (nicknamed "Asbestos Tom"). His interests include diving, self defence and martial arts, survival cookery, bushcraft, arm wrestling, bunjee jumping, white water swimming, watching Steven Seagal films, and shaving with cut-throat razors. |
