Leisureguy's Guide to Gourmet Shaving: Shaving Made Enjoyable, Second Edition
A comprehensive beginner's guide to traditional wetshaving---brush, shaving cream, safety razor with double-edged blade. Traditional shaving is enjoyable and thrifty: double-edged blades are as low as 12¢ each vs. as much as $3.50 for a single disposable multiblade cartridge. The multiblade cartridge's tug-and-cut action often results in skin irritation, razor bumps, and razor burn--thus all the "protective" shaving preparations and "soothing and healing" aftershaves on the market. Most men with such skin problems simply decide that they have "sensitive skin" and never realize that the culprit is the multiblade cartridge. The book is a complete introduction in itself, but it also includes links to a host of resources on the Web to complement the information in the book. Sources are provided for all the equipment and supplies needed for what you may not have thought of as a new hobby..

The Art of Shaving
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..

A Closer Shave: Man's Daily Search for Perfection
More than one male-bonding episode has turned on the agony of razor burn, caused by a coarse beard and an imperfect shave. Thus the need for A Closer Shave, a novelty book in a petite size that should fill a large void. According to the author, Wallace Pinfold, there has been no better time in history to get a really close shave--an excellent coincidence with the fact that the clean-shaven look is currently the in thing. The trick to a really close shave seems to lie in the temperature and quantity of the water. There's more, but it would be unfair to give the plot away. Pinfold, whose name suggests a character out of P.G. Wodehouse but whose bio hints at a career as an adventurer, also provides entertaining notes on shaving history, odd shaving inventions and conventions, and famous beards through the centuries. --Brenda Pittsley.

Learn How To Fight Psuedofolliculitis Barbae: Shaving Bumps & Ingrown Hairs
BeaSarc Industries was created in 2005 by concerned person who has been fighting Psuedofolliculitis Barbae-Shaving Bumps-Ingrown Hairs for well over 25 years. It was late one spring night that he was inspired by his wife, to write down his fight (BeaSarc Facial Care System) to share with others, who are being tormented by Psuedofolliculitis Barbae-Shaving Bumps-Ingrown Hairs. Joel had begun shaving at a very young age, in his early teens (more than forty years ago!). As with most young men, he was taught to use the products available. During the fifties and sixties, a straight razor, shaving cream, and a trip to the barber were about it. When Joel turned sixteen years of old, he began to bump along his jaw line, cheek, and neck area. Later he would learn that he developed psuedofolliculitis barbae, and all the treatments and techniques he used for shaving would not help but rather hinder and eventually damage his skin, leaving him with a severely irritated bumpy, and scarred face. That damage to his face is what started his quest for change, for something to help his skin when he shaved. As we dive into this book, we well look at the tools and methods Joel used then and what he discovered to be the best thing to happen for preserving facial beauty. Let's get started!.
