Numbers Of Savvy Shavers Soar

June 27, 2010 - PRLog -- It’s an astonishing thought, but almost 90% of men say they hate their daily shave. That would explain why there is currently a huge resurgence of men turning back to shaving the way movie stars and their grandfathers did.

Martin Shepherd, Owner of Badgerandhone.com, said “Men are finally realising that for the past 30 years they have been led astray by all the latest shaving gadgets and that just going back to using simple traditional tools and methods really does result in the perfect, painless shave”.

“Most men are well aware of the negative sides of shaving. Razor burn, ingrown hairs and red spots are all too common side effects of the morning shave, but what most men don’t realise is that a lot of it is caused by a mixture of modern day razors and poor technique. Despite what you might hear, all you need for a perfect shave is a good razor, good quality soap or cream, a simple shaving brush and a little bit of knowledge”.

As if a closer, more comfortable shave wasn’t enough, men are finding the low running costs an added bonus. A pack of double edged razor blades can be bought for litter over £1 which means a week of shaving costs just 20p!

“What we’re saying is that shaving doesn’t have to be a chore.  It can and should be a pleasurable experience where a man takes 20 minutes out of his busy day to relax and unwind. We all know that looking after yourself is no longer the domain of women, but many men feel uncomfortable going as far as facial treatments and manicures. Shaving is as masculine as it gets.”
