Real Shaving!!

As I mentioned on April 9th I started 'wetshaving' - to be blunt it is the way your grandpappy and great grandpa shaved.  No one can argue that those guys were pretty manly.. Its like John Wayne or something.  There is more to me 'taking the blade' than being a better man.  There are some HUGE benefits.

But I am getting ahead of myself.

You may be asking - Jason, why the hell do I want to shave like a 80 year old man or something??

Well friend, its better for your skin (the ladies will like that), you save money (you really like that) and you are using top quality products (everyone will like that!)

For example, a pack of 4 Gillette Fusion Blades cost over $21.00!!!  Where a pack of 10 razor blades will set you back about 3 bucks.

So what do you need to get started?

Here is a list:

-  A razor (obviously) but not just any razor - you need a Safety Razor (or DE Razor)

Where do you find these?  Well, you may be able to get one dirt cheap (FREE) from your grandpa, you can check out ebay or a number of stores on the webernet!

- Blades

You can find razor blades at drug stores and even Walmart - but I would suggest you order a sample pack from an online store (links to come at the end)

- Cream or Soap

Again, you can get good cream at The Body Shop, Bath and Body Works or even drug / grocery stores.  ( I will share what I use later).

Those 3 things are what is absolutely needed to start classic wetshaving. 

Tomorrow I will share the reasons why you should start shaving this way - until then, here is some links to some great stores that sell top end men's products!
