POPULAR SHAVING RELATED TERMS
WET SHAVING: A type of shaving designed to soften the skin and beard with water. Shaving cream or soap is then applied with a shaving brush, which elevates the beard and provides a slick cushion for the blade to glide across.
DE or DOUBLE EDGE SHAVING: A replaceable blade safety razor employing a blade with 2 edges. The edges are on opposite sides of the blade. The blade is very sharp and slices the hair off cleanly at the surface of the skin. Only one side of the blade contacts the skin while shaving.
TTO: Twist To Open as in a Butterfly type razor where the head opens up as a result of turning a knob on the handle of the razor. The knob is usually located at the bottom of the handle. Generally considered to be the easiest method of blade loading.
TWO PIECE: A razor that breaks down into 2 separate parts
THREE PIECE: A razor that breaks down into 3 parts
SE: Single Edge- A razor employing a blade that is sharp on only one edge.
HARDWARE: Non consumable shaving goods such as safety razors, straight razors, brushes, stands, etc.
SOFTWARE: Consumable wet shaving items like shaving cream, soap, pre-shaves, aftershaves, etc.
NICK: A small cut occurring during your shave… as in oh shit, I just nicked myself! This usually happens in the chin area.
WEEPER: A very small shaving cut, similar to a pin prick, usually
visible after the shave. It appears as a tiny red dot! A quick going over with a cold wet Alum Block will make it disappear quickly.
INGROWN: A condition where the hair curls back, or sideways into the skin, causing a bump or irritation. This condition is most prevalent among people who have coarse or curly hair. In Latin its called: Folliculitis Barbae.
PASS- The part of the shave when you perform shaving strokes and shave your lathered face until all of the lather is gone. That’s One Pass. Lather up and shave again, that’s another pass! Most Gents perform 2-3 passes during a complete shave.
Progressive Beard Reduction: The process of performing these multiple passes to remove a portion of the beard growth with each pass until the face is completely smooth.
WTG: With The Grain- Shaving WITH the direction of the beard growth usually your 1st Pass
XTG: Across The Grain Shaving ACROSS the direction of the beard growth usually your 2nd Pass
ATG: Against The Grain Shaving AGAINST the direction of the beard growth usually your 3rd Pass
BBS: Baby Butt Smooth
BSS: Baby Smooth Shave
DFS: Damn Fine Shave No explanation needed.
HHT: Hanging Hair Test-The act of removing hair midway on the hair shaft to verify that your straight razor's blade is sharp enough to shave with! Characterized by a sweet plinking sound of the hair being sliced off-It’s music to your ears!
PIF: Pay it Forward: Share the love of wet shaving with others! Pass on some items for free to let them try it out. Hopefully in the future they will do the same.
RAD: Razor Acquisition Disorder Yeah-you know you just can’t get enough!
SOTD: Shave of The Day SOTN: Shave of The Night
YMMV: Your Mileage May Vary- Not all shaving products will work exactly the same for everyone. For example-You might get 4 excellent shaves from a certain brand of razor blade, while someone else may get 6 shaves from that very same blade.
FACETURBATING: The unavoidable act of touching or stroking one’s face after shaving… Why? Because it just feels so damn smooth!
CLEAR THE RUNWAYS: The act of swiping away the shaving cream covering the upper sideburn area with the finger or thumb to make visible the area for an even trim.
FIGURE 8 METHOD-Also Known As the INFINITY MANEUVER: The utmost ZEN moment of brushing on and smoothing out your shaving lather in a figure-8 pattern before you pick up the razor to start shaving.
