"Wet Shaving"?

[Go West Young Man]

Then what pray tell, Sir, is dry shaving? Because electric users already enjoy a suitable moniker and anyone shaving DE or straight sans water could, at worst, be called foolhardy. I believe purveyors of modern cartridge razors should be called 'Modern Shavers' and the practice 'Modern Shaving'. We put in the time and the effort, we should claim this succulent term exclusively for our method. Even if we suppose its technically wrong, it could be a myth well worth perpetuating.

Lots of guys dry shave with carts, I see it all the time at the gym.

I see what you meant now. Infallible logic there.

Wet shaving is any kind of shaving that uses soap and yes ""caned goo"" and yes ""PrpGlides"" if you use water it's wet.

So, if I go swimming or walking in the rain it is wet shaving?

It is if your using a razor and your face is wet, otherwise your just walking in the rain or swimming.

around here i've referred to our pasion as "wet shaving" but in conversations face to face I've never used the term, or even "traditional shaving". I just say i shave with a safety razor or double edge razor. i've used "old school" as well, but then i still get the "huh?" answer.
