Training Tip of the Week: Using A Sponge While Straight Razor Shaving

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIM0Coix6Gg

Using a sponge to remove lather while shaving with a straight razor is a great technique. It keeps the blade clean and minimizes the risk for damage by noting bringing the blade close to the faucet.

This video debuted when I first started wet shaving. It s one of the best (and most relaxing) i ve seen to date.
