I finally gave in and tried the hot towel thing before a straight razor shave

I always thought it was just extra fluff for show, but a regular at my shop in Tacoma insisted I try it on him last Friday. The difference in how the skin relaxed and the razor glided was honestly wild, like cutting through soft butter instead of dry leather. Do you guys do this for every shave or just special ones?

Wait, you were out here shaving dry leather before this, my guy?

Yeah Brian, my dry leather phase was a rough look lol. I've learned a lot since then, my guy.

Man, dry leather is the worst! @the_wyatt, I feel you, we all have those past choices that make us cringe now. Honestly, it just sucks all the life right out of the material and makes it crack. Tbh, learning how to properly condition stuff is a total game changer. It's like night and day for keeping things looking good and lasting way longer.
