What you are holding is a primer to a lost skill. A beginner's guide to old fashioned wet shaving with a double-edge razor. Written for beginners, by a beginner. Tired of paying a fortune for a mediocre shave and a boring experience I embarked on a year long experiment to find something better. Packed with how-to instructions and over two dozen reviews, this book chronicles my mistakes, my successes, and most importantly, what works. The information I wish I knew when I started, and what I wish I knew years ago.

A Fun Read of a Wet Shave Convert

Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2016

Verified Purchase

Interesting blog turned e-book. This is a fun read, following the novice wet shaver as he slowly develops the skills which could lead to the Damn Fine Shave (DFS). The book is humorous and should be instructive to someone contemplating switching to double edged shaving. Notably Roberts seems to have kept his attention somewhat narrowly focused and avoided the hazard that engulfs many wet shavers: the fall down the rabbit hole into the seduction of multiple DE razors (modern and vintage), the plethora of shave soaps and creams, and the tantalizing choice of lathering brushes. I would like to read a continuation of his shaving journey.

For the man seeking more manly and abundant living. This is a fun, deep dive into one man's journey with his beard. Very fast read that helps me enjoy my own shaving journey just a little more. I think I want some of that BayRum stuff. :-)

Great book for beginning wet shavers.

Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2016

Verified Purchase

I enjoyed this book. He gives an account of his experiences with different blades and techniques through a year of wet shaving. Someone new, (like myself) can learn a lot from it. The lessons are more to be aware of how you do with said materials and to develop your own techniques that work for you.

Thank you for writing this book. It is well written, and the reviews are full of worthy details. The story about melting soap on the microwave, was an eye opener.

With a sharp attention to detail and a well lathered, but dry wit, this book doesn't give you razor burn. Its easy to read, well organized and an overall enjoyable experience. Like a warm towel.
