The best shaves are all in the preparation, so have everything you need to hand before you begin. “It’s a good idea to shave after a shower and use a pre softening product if your hair is coarse,” Alex recommends. With a closed comb it takes a lighter touch than you might expect. Just take care not to drop it too often, as happy reviewers point out, it’s not entirely indestructible. Some schoolchildren in Turkiye start working with a master Turkish barber during the holidays. At this point, the child will not yet be considered an apprentice. But he begins to learn and to practice under the guidance of his master. If the master does not think the child has the necessary skills or temperament to succeed, then he will tell the boy’s family that the child cannot be a barber.

The rest of the world could learn a thing or two from the standard of personal care men observe here, and there are some techniques below worth replicating at home. The best way to learn, Aram says, is to “first practice and try many times without putting a blade into the razor. In training, barbers are taught to hold the skin with their fingers and stretch it slightly so we can shave the more difficult parts of the face more easily. This is particularly important to do.” Then there are some razors that can’t be described in either of the above categories. The Leaf razor uses DE blades snapped in half and it can accommodate one, two, or three edges, on a pivoting head. It’s large razor head can make shaving in tight areas a challenge but it can make for an interesting diversion for the intermediate shaver who may want to cover large areas like the skull or legs. The method delivers a close shave – the wet razor glides smoothly over the skin, cutting the hair closely. This leaves the skin looking smooth and polished.

Aram concurred on the question of hot water. “Using hot water is very important in case there are any microbes on the blade, and it makes the shave more comfortable and softer,” he said. Establishments range from small local places such as this one to uberexpensive, upmarket salons and everything in between.

I like to call the Parker Semi Slant razora “kinder, gentler slant” because it torques the blade less dramatically ( here is my review). It still provides a great shave but I don’t think it requires the focus on technique that may be needed for many other slants. The Switch Razor Is there another razor you think would “stretch” the intermediate shaver without going too far? Leave a comment here!The comb style dictates the aggressiveness of the shave. “Closed is more common and safer for beginners,” advises Alex. Both men know their customers are capable of shaving themselves at home, but as Aram points out, only a barber can “boost their morale” by lending a sympathetic ear. The Turkish wet shave is a traditional shaving method that uses a bowl of water, a razor, soap and a hot towel. The first step of the process uses a hot towel to soften the beard hair and open the pores. The soap is then used to create a lather, which is applied to the beard and then the razor is used to shave the beard. The process can be repeated as needed to remove all of the beard hair. The Turkish wet shave process provides a close shave and leaves the skin feeling smooth and soft. If you have an existing zVault or zGold-MOLPoints account, upgrade it here: gold.razer.com/upgrade. Done using the correct sequence, after about five seconds, the heat from the bristles causes the soap to foam and in the process cools the brush slightly, making for a safe, smooth lather.

The bristles of the shaving brush should be a little soft, not hard. Men need to dip the brush into very hot water first, apply the soap to the brush and only then lather their faces. If they apply soap directly onto their face first, then dip the brush into hot water and use it to lather the soap on their face, they risk burning their skin. You have your shave technique with a regular double edge (DE) razor down pat. Are you now wanting to try another razor but still not stray too far out of your comfort zone? Here are some alternatives that still use a standard DE blade. When King Camp Gillette invented the first safety razor circa 1900, he probably knew he was onto a good thing. But would he have predicted his design – economical and effective – would still rule the world of shaving 120 years later? In a world of 2.0s, we expect constant iterations to blow old models out of the water. That’s not the case here. This is the main reason that Turkish barbers are preferred in other countries. A barber displays empathy, understanding and an interest in the lives of their clients. So, what’s the history of the Turkish barbers? In between in the recently introduced Hybrid, with a resin handle like the Core and a Stainless head like the Genesis. “Barber Blade” RazorsDuring the Ottoman Empire, barbers were like peddlers. They didn’t have shops. Barbers would shave people in Turkish coffee houses or on the streets. Sometimes they would go to customers’ homes and shave them there. These barbers were called “Perukâr”. Made from 100% stainless steel, with a weighted head, the impeccable textured grip is aesthetically pleasing as well as super practical. I say ‘get better soon’ for illnesses… it gets better, this is life, it continues. When they get up, they are happy, loved. When I am energized and motivated myself, I transfer it onto them.”

Another difference is in the preparation of the lather. A lot of soap is used – about twice as much as in the West. This is because the soap helps to protect the skin from the razor blade. Below you can learn more about what to expect from a Turkish wet shave as well as the benefits that make the style of shaving so popular. The Turkish wet shave process Upfront costs might make the safety razor look more expensive, however the real cost lies with the blades which means the venerable safety razor is, over time, a much savvier bet. Why should you switch to a safety razor? Best thing to do is visit a shop which sells a wide variety of brands and have a hold to feel the weight,” Alex advises. “Like a good pen or a dart, you’ll know when the weight feels right in your hand.” Henson AL13 Razor

Tekin in particular recommends men ask for advice from their own barber, rather than looking for a general solution because everyone’s skin type and beard structure (shape) is different. Knowing your individual skin sensitivities is important.
