The Wall Street Journal: How To Get The Perfect ... - Style Flavors

Looking to spruce up your visage this weekend? How about giving a straight razor shave a shot? The Wall Street Journal has a great video on just how you can achieve the perfect straight razor shave.

I?ve personally not had a straight razor shave before but it?s probably only because I don?t have a lot of facial or body hair. I can get away with shaving only once every two days and even then, it?s usually a 15 second routine.

But if you?re gifted with more abundantly active follicles, the above video will show you just how to achieve a clean slate at home and really, the end-result looks enticing. With shaving, the key things to take note of are:

1. Heat is your friend: The best time to shave is when you?re in a hot shower. The steam will open your pores and make things a lot easier.

2. Protection: Use a pre-shave oil to help protect skin from the oncoming round of physical aggravation.

3. Lubricate, lubricate, lubricate: Use a shaving gel or cream and apply a generous layer before you shave.

4. Condition and hydrate: An after-shave helps to calm skin down and close your pores. I personally prefer using a hydrating serumthat soothes, repairs and hydrates in one quick step.
