The Ritual of Shaving

Dethroner Forum member “ThinkandDrive” made a great post about his shaving process, a product-heavy mix of traditional (boar’s hair shaving brush) and modern (Mach 3 Turbo, King of Shaves pre-shave oil). But as any shaver knows, it’s not just the products that you use that matter, but the ritual:

Again, here’s where your person preference and experience comes in. I generally shave in the following order and directions. Cheeks from upper to lower in long strokes. I’ll throw in an extra cross-grain stroke at the bottom of my jaw line because that’s a trouble spot. I then shave my neck from the chin down. I carefully shave in a downward direction. Top of the lip is similar.

Go check out his great write-up and then let me know what your unique shaving procedure is.
