Discussion of the Week: Let s Talk Slants

What is a Slant Safety Razor?

• No, there s nothing wrong with the razor
• A slant-bar razor is designed with the head of a razor slightly slanted in order to give the user a different approach to combating stubble. These razors tend to be work better this way.
• The flexed blade requires a different approach providing a slightly different shave.
• Use light pressure and above all do not try to correct the cutting angle.
• Sharp Blades are a must

Training Tip of the Week: How to Properly Lather a Shaving Soap 

• Lathering your soap is not as easy as it sounds.
• Using too much water can lead to a diluted lather that does not hold up. Using too little water will result in an overly thick lather that will inhibit the razor.
• The knot on your brush says a lot. Different knots have different results.
  • Natural hair brushes retain more water and often require to be soaked thoroughly
  • Synthetic hair brushes do not retain as much water and do not require to be soaked.
• Try some different scenarios and experiment with lathering.
• Practice makes perfect!
