Shaving with a straight razor is a slow, meticulous process. Weight distribution on your single blade is everything, setting you up for the best end result possible. There’s nothing worse than missing hairs and snagging stragglers on a shaving cream-less face on your second time around

Enter the new Angle Razor, designed by the London-based agency Morrama, sports a manly, machined aluminum handle that delivers as much power on your bathroom counter as it does in your hand. With an optimal balance point at the thumb and forefinger, this straight razoe allows you to perform longer strokes while boosting your shaving precision.

Morrama’s inspiration for this minimalist design began as an ode to the ceremony of shaving. The Angle Razor packs everything you would expect to find with a traditional straight razor, but with a few additional perks to bring the benefits and brawniness of old school tradition into the science-enhanced era of the 21st century.

The razor is compatible with almost any affordable, disposable single blade. Unless someone invents a new standardized double-edged blade tomorrow, this Angle Razor is built to last you a lifetime. No subscriptions, no monthly deliveries, no payments — strictly shaving.

The Angle Razor is available for pre-order on Kickstarter in anodized black or silver finishes, with or without a matching stand, as well as an awesome enamel mug. The campaign has far surpassed its original fundraising goal, so customers can expect product delivery in June 2018.

Does beard growth oil work? What you should know

Man putting beard oil on his beard.

Growing the perfect beard is a lifelong quest for some, and though there are plenty of tips to help you grow a beard, sometimes you can benefit from a little outside intervention. You might have seen adverts for beard growth oil and wondered if that would help you grow a thicker and more lustrous beard, along with various other oils for softening or brushes and other tools to help maintain your skin.

There's a lot of options when it comes to the world of facial hair grooming, because for your beard to look full and well groomed, you need to not only trim it to the right shape but also make sure that both the hair and the skin of your face are well looked after and in good condition. You might also just need to be patient, as it can take some time for facial hair to grow in to the length that you want. The basic advice for growing in a beard that looks great are to give it time and make sure you're taking care of your health -- like getting enough sleep, eating a health diet, and taking exercise. But we all know we're supposed to do those things anyway, and there are some products that can help give your beard a nudge along the way.

How often should you change your razor blades?

It's a hassle and an annoyance, but when it comes to your daily shaving ritual something that you absolutely don't want to skip is changing out your razor blade. Trying to shave with a dull razor is bad for your skin and can cause razor bumps, plus creating a higher likelihood of problems like infections, and it will do a poor job of removing hair, resulting in a patchy shave. If you're not up for trying out a straight razor, then you'll need to get into the habit of regularly swapping out the replaceable blades on your razor or using fresh disposable razors instead. Knowing when to swap out your old blades for new ones will help keep your skin happy and your face looking its best, so our guide can help you work out how often you need to change your razor blades.

How often you should change your razor blades
According to the American Academy of Dermatologists, you should change your razor blades or throw away disposable razors after every five to seven shaves. High-quality razor blades should last five to seven shaves if you take care of them properly and keep them clean. However, cheaper disposable razors may wear out sooner.
Signs it’s time to change your razor blades include skin irritation after shaving, a less close shave, patchy areas or spots missed, skin that still feels rough after, dullness of the blades, feeling hairs are getting pulled instead of cut, and excessive friction of the blades across your skin that it feels like you have to drag it over your skin.
Moreover, a razor that has an accumulation of gunk that can’t be rinsed away should be immediately discarded, as this causes nicks and infections by dragging unevenly across your skin and introducing harbored bacteria into your pores.
