Shaving myth 4: Should I use soap on my face before shaving?
In our fourth article on common shaving myths, we ask the question: Should I use soap on my face before shaving?
Soap dries the face and strips away the moisture content.

Shaving myth 3: Should I use the same brand for all my shaving products?
In our latest article on common shaving myths, we ask the question: Should I use the same brand for all my shaving products?
The simple answer to this popular question is no, there is no rule about sticking to one particular brand. In fact, it is more interesting to create a cocktail of products through trying out different ones from each brand. As long as the product is quality, then you should have no problems mixing and matching.

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.
