Warm towel or hot shower, to soften the skin and the hairs. Coral skin food as a prep to the skin. Hot but not scalding water, fresh razor blade (I use disposables in a cutthroat). Badger brush, shaving cream not soap and work that into a good lather. A good barber is fine but once you know the contours of your own skin and the follicle growth you will be able to achieve better results yourself as you can angle the blade better. Finally a little more skin food and its the best shave I can achieve. Modern safety razors with a million blades just do not compare.
I have searched for sandalwood, lavender etc but could not find a relevant thread containing such words, so clearly its time for a pleasant pong thread.
