I am on the third day of using my double edge razor that I got for Christmas which you can read about in “What they don’t tell you about a double edge razor.” Today I am happy to say I shaved scratch free. Following the advice from a comment on my previous post I am one step closer to mastering the ritual of a wet shave.
Mastering the art of wet shaving.

What they don’t tell you about a double edge razor.
26 December 2007I got the Merkur Classic Safety Razor for Christmas. I’d read about wet shaving on blogs like The Simple Dollar, Zen Habits, and Life Hacker. First of all I stayed away from a straight edge razor after a barber advised me not to when I mentioned I couldn’t find them anywhere, something along the lines of it not being worth the risk and sanitation issues. With nostalgic eagerness I lathered up for my first shave. While I think that hemorrhage might be too strong of a word, I do wonder if certain areas of skin near my chin will ever grow back, not to mention the laceration behind my left ear.
