Save yourself a lot of Shaving hassle by reading our in-depth analysis on the evolution of shaving. It has been a manly art for Centuries, dare I say eons. However, it isn’t an activity that’s exclusive to men, female shaving is an art of its own.
The objective opinion would be, if you have skin and hair, shaving might be right for you! Now prepping the skin is a vital part in this grooming activity. Being able to retain or top-up the essential oils in your skin to retain moisture is so essential, I feel like that’s why they call it essential oils (Pun intended).
With the level of progress, we need one product that makes shaving a premium experience while retaining the essential oils without having to apply multiple chemical cosmetics to mimic what nature developed to moisturize your skin. We have seen an evolution in shaving that has increased the number of blades, angle of hinges, strips of cucumber and aloe vera on the razors while the common complaints of skin irritation has been on an up rise (speaks loads for the rise in the hippie movement of staying natural and not shaving). Shaving brands have been adding heating features, vibrators and every other bell and whistle to the contraption…..honestly, at this point we wouldn’t be surprised if they added a fire extinguisher to the mix for a “soothing shave”.
Personal Shaving razor’s most perfect version was the Double Edged Safety Razor(DSR). Honestly, WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU WALKED INTO A BARBERSHOP AND YOUR BARBER WHIPPED OUT A DISPOSABLE RAZOR?
While facial hair was becoming a fashion statement, shaving techniques were becoming more prominent. And most techniques were developed alongside the DSR (Double Edged Safety Razor). It is not just a nostalgic art, It’s the whole experience.
It’s an experience that keeps costs low for the Users both males and females. DSRs (Double Edged Safety Razor) are almost a once in a lifetime purchase and are extremely friendly for the planet as there are no plastic components used in the making of these products, meaning the landfills and the sea-life thank you for your investment. There has been a massive conspiracy among shaving companies who claim multiple blades are what we need for a close shave.
On the contrary, multiple blades increase the chances of developing those itchy in-grown hairs and the cost per shave is now way higher than the days of the perfect close Double Edge Safety Razor shave. For instance, Eight months worth of shaving kit products with disposable shavers would cost upwards of $170 and electric shavers from big brands cost upwards of $500. To put this in perspective, If you spend $75 on a DSR kit(Double Edged Safety Razor). You’re set for a couple years of close shave as you develop your shaving techniques.To me and a lot of other men and women, grooming is a meditative experience where we aspire to acquire the look we imagine our sharpest versions to look like.
There are a lot of companies aspiring to bust the myth of having to buy a transformer of a shaving machine (electric shavers) or Plastic handles and cartridge systems, neither of which guarantee the closest shave every time like the Double Edged Safety razor. The cost of running these razors is less than 98 cents per month in terms of the blades, that’s just our 2 cents worth of thought. We can’t go back in time, However we can bring back the forgotten art of shaving to achieve that Mythical Perfect shave. Follow us for information on how we can bring back the art of shaving that suits your skin and your pockets!
