Safety & Beginner Mistakes
- Haste: Wet shaving takes time. Especially with a straight razor/shavette, only shave without time pressure.
- Too many passes: Repeatedly shaving over the same spot irritates the skin massively.
- Ignoring the grain: Shaving against the grain without planning risks razor burn.
- Wrong equipment: Choose a tool you can control well. A closed comb alone does not guarantee a gentle or injury-free shave.
