Fact #1. Human beings have engaged in body hair removal for all of recorded history. Even prehistoric man would scrape unwanted hairs away using sharpened stones or clam shells. Metal tools capable of shaving have been unearthed in 6,000-year-old Egyptian tombs. The men of some ancient cultures would all traditionally shave their heads, possibly to aid in hand-to-hand combat.
Fact #2. Most men of our modern culture engage in considerably less fist fighting on a daily basis. However, there's still plenty of reason for them to shave. A smooth chin can make an important first impression on a big date. It can help you look sharp and organized when you close the deal with that high-dollar client. Also, as many women will attest, shaved skin just feels better, to men and their partners.
Fact #3. The traditional safety razor has undergone a facelift in the last two decades. A far cry from the standard, plastic, disposable type, some models even feature vibration and as many as five parallel blades. But in over 300 years of use, the straight razor as we know it has consistently given one of the closest shaves available.
Fact #4. Professional-quality straight razors are made from a number of different high-hardness steels. Stainless steel is easier to care for and retains a good edge even with moderate upkeep. A lot of prominent brands use their own proprietary alloys with special inclusions such as silver or extra chromium.
Fact #5. A good straight razor might set you back quite a bit more than a pack of disposable razors. But it's the last one you'll ever have to buy. The traditional barber's tool will give you a tighter and more comfortable shave than a safety razor ever could. Furthermore, for those facial hair artists out there, the highest precision manscaping can only be done with a perfectly honed piece of metal.
