Aaron is requested a query about one of the best methods to form a beard utilizing a double edge security razor
Saby Sambhi, from the UK, asks:
“Hey Aaron, I’ve not too long ago graduated to a DE security razor from a Gillette Mach 3. I’ve a Merkur 34c razor, Edwin Jagger tremendous badger hair brush and Taylor of Old Bond road almond shaving cream.
So far the shaves have been amazingly shut however I’m having points with shaping my beard. The razor works nice shaving massive areas akin to my neck however I can’t see the place I’m shaving for the intricate areas because of the thickness of the cream and that is resulting in shaping errors.
Can you please advise one of the simplest ways to deal with this? Previously with my Mach3 I used to be capable of to cowl the areas requiring element with a skinny layer of cleaning soap permitting me to see the place I’m going and because of the comparatively benign nature of the blades this supplied enough safety and lubrication however I really feel a DE razor will likely be too aggressive for this strategy?
Any assistance is drastically appreciated! Many thanks, Saby.”
A double edge razor is a good device for shaping a beard
AARON SAYS
“Mr. Saby,
Actually the identical strategy you used with the Mach 3 you may apply with the Merkur. What I like to recommend (and I do myself) is to take your finger and gently wipe away nearly all of the lather, forsaking a skinny layer. The skinny layer provides you with the safety and glide you might be searching for and nonetheless offer you good visibility! Another thought can be to make use of a shavette akin to a Dovo to do the high quality work. Both strategies work equally effectively and may provide the outcomes you might be searching for!
Smooth Shaving!
Aaron”
