I anticipated that the holiday season would see a fair number of men (who had expressed a hatred of shaving) receiving the thoughtful gift of a traditional shaving set-up — a DE safety razor, shaving brush, and shaving soap — with the idea that adding pleasure to the shave will make it better. (Of course, I believe including a copy of Leisureguy’s Guide to Gourmet Shaving the Double-Edge Way would be an excellent idea, but I naturally have a bias.)
At any rate, I thought a round-up of the most common novice errors (and how to correct them) would be helpful in any event, and now the article is available.
