Classic shaving itself only requires three real tools: warm water, a steady hand, and a sharp blade.

As easy as it looks at the barber's, it's only that easy if you have the right practice. This comes relatively quickly once you stick with it.

Shaving Straight Razor Beard

Whether straight razor or safety razor: Try classic shaving at home 

The classic shave is popular with beard wearers for a reason. It is very thorough and excels in this respect over system razors.

By engaging in classic shaving, you also get to know your beard and the skin beneath it better.

If you take enough time, classic shaving also has a relaxing and calming aspect. All in all, a type of shave that you should give a chance - even if it initially scares you.

So that you are sufficiently prepared for shaving with safety razor orstraight razor, you will find here the basics of classic shaving. How to shave your beard properly, you can read in this post.

What you need for classic shaving

To make your classic shaving successful, besides following the procedure, an appropriate selection of equipment is necessary:

    Preparing for Classic Shaving

    Preparation is extremely important to make the actual shaving as comfortable as possible.

    Through optimal preparation, you effectively open the pores on your face and make it easier for yourself to shave properly with a safety razor or straight razor.

    The following steps are part of an optimal preparation for classic shaving:

    1. Wash your beard.

    2. Open your pores by placing a hot shaving cloth on your face.

    3. Prepare the shaving soap or foam.

    4. Apply the pre-shave oil to your beard.

    5. Lather the shaving soap well with the shaving brush and apply it to the beard.

    6. Place the safety razor or straight razor at a right blade angle to the skin.

    7. Shave gently with the grain at first. If you feel comfortable with it, you can also go against the grain.

    8. Rinse your face well with cold water after shaving to close your pores.

    9. Finally, apply an after-shave care that is suitable for you.

    10. For the longevity of the blade, it is recommended that you clean and dry it after use.

    In our shop, you will find a selection of suitable products with which you can prepare yourself for classic shaving and learn more about the most important tips for wet shaving. All these are available here.
