Wet Shave versus Electric

Results

A wet shave will give you better results than a 'dry shave'. It will provide you with a closer and smoother shave than that achievable with an electric razor. The nature of a 'dry shave' can leave you with a sandpaper feel and the potential for greater irritation, especially if you are not using an accompanying product to prep and lubricate your skin.

Shaving not only achieves the removal of unwanted stubble, but it also encourages exfoliation by lifting off dead skin cells. This helps to keep skin looking healthy and free of the debris which can lead to dull lifeless skin. The closer shave achieved by a wet shave will provide you with greater benefits of exfoliation.

However the key to maximising both of the above is down to how you shave and what products you use. These will be essential to achieving a closer shave with less irritation.

This is a core part of your appearance so it is worth getting it right.

Enjoyment

There is a certain ritual and ceremony to a wet shave. It is a ritual that is steeped in heritage and tradition, allowing you to enjoy high quality products that will bring pleasure to your morning routine. Acqua di Parma, Geo F Trumper, Truefitt & Hill, all combine a rich heritage with a tradition of excellence making their offerings the perfect accompaniments to your wet shave.

Shaving is a daily process for most of us whether we like it or not. Do not suffice with inadequate products; re-discover the tradition and art of shaving use quality products and bring enjoyment into your daily routine.

Practicalities

There is still a place for the electric razor. It is best reserved for the 5 o'clock shadow or for those late nights at the office, when a wet shave may not be possible. There are products which will help you to achieve a smoother and more comfortable electric shave, see here.
