I thought it’d be entertaining and maybe even educational for some for me to post my 10 Commandments of Wet Shaving.

The 10 Commandments of Wet Shaving

1. Thou shalt not go out in public with a 5 O’clock shadow.

2. Thou shalt ensure one performs proper prep before bringing blade to beard.

3. Thou shalt not use any pressure when shaving with a safety or straight razor.

4. Thou shalt honor thy age old traditions of wet shaving as was done by our fathers, grandfathers etc.

5. Thou shalt not stretch a blade’s life beyond its usage as one would do a cartridge razor.

6. Thou shalt avoid the latest multi blade cartridge razor and canned goop like the plague.

7. Thou shalt taketh thy time shaving and never try to achieve a clean shave in one pass.

8. Thou shalt learn thy grain map of thine own stubble so as to know what directions to shave when shaving with, across then finally against thy grain.

9. Thou shalt preach thy word of wet shaving to those who have not yet seen thy light.

10. Thou shalt always remember thy golden acronym, YMMV (your mileage may vary). What will work for one wet shaver will not work for another.

On point 3.... Always use correct pressure.

When wife tries to open cabinet door under sink : Thou shalt stop shaving, hold razor away from face. Better yet, when wife enters bathroom, stop shave or your doomed to get a razor cut.
