2. Shaving – With your skin and hair thoroughly prepped for the shave, position the razor at a 45-degree angle to your skin and shave using short, gentle strokes. Let the weight of the razor do most of the work, you don’t need to apply the same pressure you would with a cartridge razor.

This gives you control yet allows the weight of the handle to glide the razor. Remember, with a safety razor you don’t want to apply pressure. You don’t need to! If you notice any irritation whatsoever, consider shaving “with-the-grain”, in the same direction that the hair grows. This will provide a much milder shave and achieve the same level of closeness – it just may take a few extra passes.

Irritation may also be a sign that the skin and hair might require additional lather. You know how in TV commercials you’ll see someone just pulling a razor blade up the entire length of their leg? Yeah, we don’t recommend that. Even with a cartridge razor, that’s a quick way to cut yourself.
