Clean Shaving

About this ebook

What you get

Your neck goes red an hour after you shave, and two days later there are bumps under your jaw. You have tried more blades, different foams and an aftershave that burns, and you still nick yourself on the mornings that matter. You want a shave that leaves your face smooth and calm, without a shelf full of products.

Clean Shaving walks you through the whole shave: prep that softens the beard, a grain map for your neck, an honest comparison of safety, cartridge, electric and straight razors, natural shaving soaps and how to build a real lather, technique by razor type, aftercare that calms instead of stinging, clear tables that tell razor burn from ingrown hairs from infection, and signs for when to see a doctor or dermatologist. It includes 12 measured recipes with metric and US amounts, how long each keeps and a safety note, a problem solver with a 4-week reset, 7-day and 30-day plans and a one-page cheat sheet. The fillable planner gives you a shaving routine card, beard map, shave log, blade and product log and patch test record, each with a filled example.
