Easter is here, the eggs are painted and the smell of roast lamb is starting to waft from the kitchen. But you’ve forgotten the spring raking: the stump looks more like an overgrown, sprawling Easter rice bush than the elegant, well-groomed look you were aiming for. With guests practically at the door and a timetable bursting at the seams, panic is setting in. <\/p>

Many people think that wet shaving with a safety razor is a time-consuming ritual-like project that requires at least half an hour in the bathroom. But don’t worry – in war and Easter dinners, everything is allowed, even an effective “shortcut”. <\/p>

Is it really possible to get a good wet shave with a safety planer when the clock is ticking? The answer is a resounding yes. It may not be a time-consuming three-pass “BBS” (Baby Butt Smooth) with a perfect finish, but you’ll look well-groomed, smell amazing and, most importantly, avoid the irritation that often comes from rushing with the wrong technique. Here’s your emergency plan for a quick but stylish Easter wet shave! <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Before you start the clock, make sure you have the following ready on the sink edge. The key to speed is to avoid searching in the cupboards. <\/p>

Shaving tools<\/h3>

Safety razor: Preferably a medium-aggressive model that takes a lot of beard hairs in the first pass. Keep it in a rack so you know where it is. The most important tool for your wet shaving. <\/p>

A new razor blade: A sharp razor blade that has a slightly more aggressive edge is essential when you’re in a hurry to shave, a dull blade requires more strokes and creates irritation. <\/p>

Shaving brush: Synthetic brushes are best here because they don’t need to be soaked beforehand and dry quickly. Always in a stand. You can also use a shaving stick or cream that doesn’t require a shaving brush. Then you apply it with your fingers only. <\/p>

Shaving products<\/h3>

Shaving cream (rather than hard soap): A cream in a tube lathers faster than a hard soap when every second counts. You may also want to choose a <\/p>

Aftershave Balm: Choose a moisturizing and cooling version to quickly reduce any redness before you sit down at the table. <\/p>

Alum pin \/ Alum block: Your best friend in case of stress. It stops bleeding immediately if your hand slips on the move. Also looks better than cardboard pads. <\/p>

Now you have everything you need for your wet shaving.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Forget the long, relaxing shower where you let the steam do the work for ten minutes. When guests approach the driveway, we get straight to the point, but remember: speed should never mean carelessness with the moisture. Shaving on dry skin with a safety razor is asking for razor burn, and that’s not a look to match your best Easter shirt. <\/p>

Step 1: Warm water – Nature’s softener (30-45 seconds)<\/h3>

Start by turning on the tap to a properly warm (but not scalding) temperature. Cup your hands and rinse your face repeatedly for at least 30 seconds. <\/p>
