There are many synonyms that come with shaving; silk and smooth being just two of the choice picks. What one doesn’t want is a lumpy bumpy red rash to bloom across the skin. Shaving rash is both literally and metaphorically a pain. It smarts to touch, it destroys a refined look, and it’s just plain irritating.
Sait Koca is the samurai of close shaves at ADAM Grooming Atelier. Speaking with Men’s Health, he explains that a dull razor blade is one of the most common culprits of a bad shave. But what if your blade is as sharp as a knife edge? Perhaps, it’s the telltale side of a misguided technique.
The truth is shaving isn’t as simple as it first appears. To understand the ins and outs of a strong supple technique means understanding the finery of follicles and the skins relationship to hair.

This article from Men’s Health is a great place to start. Sait’s tips cover everything from technique to tools, stroke length, and even soothing anxious pores. He lets you know what your skin loves when feeling sensitive and what it needs a break from.
