Ask Aaron Q/A: The Muhle R106 Double Edge Safety Razor
Darren Pedley, from the UK, asks:
“I have the Muhle - R106 Double Edge Safety Razor it doesn’t seem to give me a very close shave at all. I think it is because of the comb? I am left with stubble. Could you suggest a razor without a comb or another razor that will give me the same closeness as a cartridge shave or closer?”
AARON SAYS
“Mr Pedley,
Before picking up another razor, let’s look at a few things before going that route. Make sure you are prepping your beard area well with a hot shower and a good face wash or scrub. Next after unwrapping a sharp blade from the wax paper (providing it has some) make sure it aligns properly with the edge of the razor. Next align the razor at approximately a 30 degree angle to your face, this is the optimum cutting ange for the blade. Next, as you shave make sure you try going three passes on your beard area. Go first with the direction of hair growth, next across the grain of growth, and lastly against the direction of growth. Touch up different areas as needed but this should provide you with a smooth close shave with little to no stubble. If you continue to have trouble eliminating your stubble submit another e-mail and we’ll do what we can to troubleshoot some more!
Happy Shaving!
Aaron”
