Synopsis
The average man shaves approximately 20,000 times over the course of his life. As he removes each new crop of whiskers, he inevitably reaps some unfortunate byproducts - including cuts, rashes and the arrival of "five o'clock shadow" right around lunchtime. THE ART OF SHAVING addresses these problems head-on. A light-hearted but authoritative discussion of shaving techniques and products, it reveals why foam gels are back (and why depilatories are worse) and explains how to choose the right brush, razor, and blade, lather up, and execute a smooth, nick-free shave. Illustrated with striking duotone photographs, THE ART OF SHAVING has the same appeal as such popular books as THE ART OF DOING NOTHING and the Chic Simple series - an ideal gift.

Customer Reviews

Products not Methods
This book spends more time talking about the products of shaving rather than about the methods of shaving. Buy if you want to know what to buy. Don't buy if you want information on how to shave!
