Thanks for the excellent additions to smooth shaving 101!

I use jojoba oil the night before I have a morning date with my razor.

All in all, a nice article.

Exfoliation is fine if you don’t shave everyday. If you do shave daily, there’s no real need, as the blade does some of that no matter how lightly you shave. And it’s likely not needed in any case if you use a shaving brush (boar, badger, or synthetic bristle) to apply the soap/cream.

Spending more time in preparing your beard yields tremendous benefits to the quality of the shave.

(Also, you might want to find a different photo of a double-edge safety razor. The photo you have has the bottom plate mounted upside down – you’d never be able to cut anything with the razor like this.)

Don’t forget about pre-shave oil! Using pre-shave oil further softens the beard and adds a protective layer between the razor and your skin… all leading to a closer, more comfortable shave.
