The Advantages Of A Dovo Straight Razor Shave
Every man wants the same thing in a razor. We want a close comfortable shave with the ability to easily sculpt those difficult to reach parts of the face and neck. All of these things can be achieved with a Dovo straight razor. Sure, they may seem old fashioned, but maybe it’s time to take a new look at the old barbershop tool.
Despite all of the advances in technology, nothing invented since the straight razor can give you a closer shave. Even thoroughly modern barbershops that use expensive technology to cut and clean hair rely on the old fashioned straight razor to give a close shave. The secret is in the unguarded blade standing alone. The angle of the blade to the face can be adjusted with a flick of the wrist. This simply isn’t possible with a safety razor, where the blade is at a fixed angle. Nor is it possible with an electric razor, which are infamous for leaving behind stubble.
Straight razors are also more comfortable than electrics or safety razors. Nothing compares to the warm thick lather of a traditional wet shave. Electric razors cause irritating razor burn, and safety razors frequently have three or four blades in them, causing three or four times the necessary irritation. Shaving companies know this, and they put chemicals in their shaving creams or on little strips in the razor to help numb your face to try to hide it.
If you’re looking for something to groom your facial hair (rather than to remove it outright) look no further than the straight razor. Straight razors are the most precise shaving tool available. When a surgeon performs surgery, does he use a scalpel with four blades on it? How about a blade that runs on electricity? No, a surgeon knows that nothing gives nice precise cuts like a single blade. The same goes for hair. If you want to have a smooth face right next to a moustache, you need a straight razor.
Straight razors beat electrics and safety razors when it comes to cost too. They may be more a more expensive investment initially, but they never need replacement blades or recharging.
Straight razors are also better for the environment. No replacement blades means no trash when you finish your shave. You also don’t need to worry about the carbon footprint you produce with batteries or recharging. A straight razor produces zero waste.
The overall experience of a straight razor is tough to beat. Recently there’s been a resurgence in it’s popularity. You owe it to yourself to find out what all the fuss is about. Try a classic straight razor shave today.
