Shaving is something every man does on regular basis. It is important to do it the right way because if you fail to do it properly, it can damage your skin.  Wet shave can be easily defined as the kind of shave your grandfather did. It keeps your face wet throughout the whole process.  A safety razor or a straight razor, a shaving brush and a shaving cream are used to carry out a wet shave. Traditional barbers still wet shave their customers since it gets your skin pampered the old-school way. The atmosphere of the shops take you back to the old simpler times.

Wet shave really becomes the way to go as it helps boost your confidence and make you feel great about yourself. Here are the top five reasons why men should go for wet shave.

  1. WET SHAVING IS CHEAPER

Razor blades are expensive as hell. They increase the price of razor blades with each ‘upgrade’. People spent a lot per year on razors blades. In wet shaving your biggest cost is taken care of once you have bought a brush and razor. Soaps and creams used in wet shaving last for a long time.

STRAIGHT RAZOR

  1. WET SHAVE IS TRADITIONAL

I still remember watching old James Bond in old movies, grabbing a Gillette slim in his hand. Wet shaves gives you a traditionally rich feel, you fancy you are back in those old and simple times. Wet shave has that feel of manliness inside it which makes it really cool. It is true that the latest is not always the greatest. Wet shave is quite simple to do and relaxing.

 

WET SHAVING

  1. IT IS BENEFICIAL FOR SKIN

A lot of men complain about skin problems due to shaving including cuts, razor bumps, razor burns and irritation on skin. Wet shave can actually remove these problems. SLS (Sodium Laureth Sulfate) is an ingredient found in shaving forms which causes skin irritation. Its basic purpose is to produce lather. Shaving foams contain other potentially dangerous ingredients for skin too. Wet shaving products do not contain such harmful ingredients. Brush used in wet shave can benefit your skin and bring good qualities to it. It helps minimize ingrown hair on your skin. Regardless of whether you use a safety razor or a straight razor, it cuts the skin below the hair which reduces irritation.

 

WET SHAVING

  1. ENVIRONMENT BENEFITS

Two billion disposable razors are thrown every year only in the US. This is a huge amount of waste which covers land, and it doesn’t include the waste of shaving foam.  Using straight blade in wet shave doesn’t contribute any waste to the land. A straight razor lasts for a very long time. Plus, you feel great when shaving with a straight razor.

 

  1. IT IS AN ENJOYABLE ACTIVITY

In today’s fast world, we rarely get to spend time where we can just focus on us. Wet shave might look a mundane chore but it can be turned into an enjoyable and mindful activity which you can actually enjoy.
