Learn to Wet Shave
My youngest memory of shaving is standing on a stool next to my grandfather while he shaved. I got his excess lather, and of course my razor didn’t have a blade. When I inherited my grandfather’s safety razor and shaving brush, that memory came back to me. I’d been shaving with a cartridge razor for years, and I decided to give shaving like grandpa a try. I never bought another replacement cartridge.
