In the modern days we live in, we are flooded with technology and electronics wherever we go. There have been no exceptions to products that technology has "upgraded." We no longer wash our clothes by hand, our dishes solely in the sink, or read for entertainment. The world moves at a fast pace and it’s not slowing down. Even our razors are electric and save us time from having to wet our faces to shave. However, there is still something to be said for getting the benefits of good old-fashioned wet shaving. What Is it? Wet shaving is the more traditional way to shave a beard. Before electric razors, there was an art to shaving. It wasn't as quick, but it was a lot better for your skin. You first applied shave soap with a shave brush, lathered it up for a few minutes, shaved the hairs against the grain, and then applied a nice after shave. Benefits for the Skin Whenever you dry shave with an electric razor, the skin becomes irritated and not properly exfoliated. When using the old-fashioned process, your skin becomes wet, cleansed, lathered, and exfoliated all in the first step. Then, once you begin shaving with the traditional razor, you're sloughing off the dead skin cells and renewing your skin. After that, the after shave is applied; killing any lingering germs or irritated follicles on your face; after shave helps you to avoid irritations. Back to Basics Yes, we live in a world where more is less and consumed by technology. Getting back to basics and wet shaving not only helps your skin and face, it also isn't using any energy from having to be plugged into the wall. A little water, a little cream, a good razor, and some after shave are all that is needed for the best shave of your life. The Art of Shaving has become the best-selling men’s brand at high-end department stores. Their own stores can be found in over 66 locations nationwide. The Art of Shaving was acquired by Procter & Gamble in June 2009. The Art of Shaving was started in a kitchen.
