Razor shaving at home is a tradition that most men still abide by and has become even a bit of a ritual for men, when it is passed on from generation to generation. Each man will have their own preference of what shaving machine they will use, whether it is a straight razor, safety razor or a cartridge razor.

“ The key is to find the hair remover tool that suits your needs and will make taming your facial hair easy, while looking good – obviously! Using a foil shaver or a clippers/trimmers are both effective ways. ”

The foil shaver made its appearance on to the barbering circuit in the 80’s when popular brand Remington were the first brand to introduce this powerful shaving tool onto the market.

The purpose of the foil razor was to get really close to your face without having to use a razor blade. It was designed to give more flexibility to men who lead busy lives – with a foil shaver, you don’t need to apply oils and creams onto your skin, as you can shave on dry skin when using a foil shaver.
