Publisher Description
The average man will shave approximately 20,000 times over the course of his life, spending the equivalent of 139 full days doing it. He will shave off 27 feet of hair, from a total of 30,000 whiskers on his face. And he will probably be doing something wrong. So he’ll suffer nicks and cuts, ingrown hairs, and rashes; his five-o’clock shadow will arrive before lunch, his neck will be irritated and red, and he’ll get razor burn. Instead of reaping the benefits of a daily grooming regimen, he’ll only suffer. Needlessly.
The Art of Shaving will solve his problems (as well as the related problems of anybody whose cheek gets burned by his razor stubble). He’ll choose the correct brush and razor and blade; he’ll take more time lathering up properly and less time tending to bloody shirt collars. He’ll feel better and look better. And he’ll adjust his perception of this morning ritual, bringing art and passion to a daily routine.
Customer Reviews
Good book, but...
I give it three stars because it's overprice but otherwise is a good book with some basic knowledge.
Way overpriced
This is essentially a very slick book about information that is readily available on just about every website that specializes in wet shaving products. I expected MUCH more.
Good instruction on how to properly shave
Ok gents, admit it, most of us never learned to properly shave. I thought I was doing well until I was treated to a visit to an Art of Shaving store. What I came away with was a completely new understanding of what a proper shave is all about. While this book is written by the owners of the Art of Shaving stores, not once do they push their products or services
This book was well worth the cost and, for me, shaving is no longer a chore, but now is my personal pampering time. Using the advice in this book my shaves are much closer, skin is way smoother and I feel way better overall when I am done, plus my girlfriend spends 5 minutes in the morning loving how my face feels in her hands. I now look forward to shaving every day instead of just work days and date nights
Besides, my 5 o' clock shadow now comes out about 9 pm
