I recently spotted a decent deal on a shaving set from The Art of Shaving. Tonight, for the first time, I used a shaving brush and pre-shave oil, as well as an alterative shaving cream and aftershave balm. It wasn’t just the tools that were different, however. Instead of my usual foam beard and quick slashes with the razor, I took my time and didn’t force the shave. I mapped out my facial hair, brushed on a thin lather, and went to work. I’m not sure what it was, but something made me extremely happy while I did it. I recommend checking out C.O. Bigelow and The Art of Shaving to purchase the necessities.
