Shower Shaving by Feel with the Blade Bar

Its clear, no-mess lubricant reveals exactly where you’re shaving, while its irritation-free formula ensures zero redness or discomfort, as proven by Sansnik’s year-long testing. Designed for multi-blade razors, the Blade Bar glides smoothly, guided by touch and the shower’s steamy warmth. Paired with the AfterBlade Bar, it leaves skin smooth and healthy. This guide shows you how to master shower shaving by feel, whether you’re a beginner or a pro.

Why Shower Shaving Shines

Shaving in the shower by feel is a game-changer. The Blade Bar’s clear lubricant lets you see and feel your progress, eliminating the guesswork of foamy creams. Sansnik’s testing found that short, gentle strokes in the shower’s warm steam soften hair and skin, ensuring a close, irritation-free shave. Unlike traditional products, the Blade Bar stays on your razor’s blades, not your skin, so water won’t wash it away. Plus, combining wet tasks in one place saves time and cleanup, making your routine greener and simpler.

Shaving by Feel: Step-by-Step

With your Blade Bar mounted, follow these steps to shave by touch:

  • Prep Your Skin: Spend 2–3 minutes in the shower, drenching your skin and razor with warm water (90–100°F) to soften hair and open pores. Wash your face or body to remove oils for a smoother glide.

  • Wet the Blade Bar: Lightly wet the bar until bubbles appear during stropping—avoid soaking, as water-logging makes it gummy and risks sliding. A wet-but-not-dripping bar is perfect. See Going In-Depth: Sticking and Troubleshooting.

  • Strop the Razor: Glide your multi-blade razor (e.g., Gillette Sensor3) across the mounted Blade Bar’s surface 3–5 times with light pressure, coating blades with a clear gel. Never strop in-hand to avoid uneven lubrication or cuts. See Going In-Depth: Stropping Techniques.

  • Shave by Feel: Use short, gentle strokes with the grain, feeling for stubble with your free hand. Start at the sideburns or legs, moving slowly to avoid missed spots. The clear lubricant ensures visibility, even in steam. Restrop every few passes (e.g., after a cheek or shin) for consistent glide.

  • Apply AfterBlade Bar: Rub the AfterBlade Bar onto wet skin post-shave, massaging gently. Its natural ingredients (see FAQ) nourish for exceptional smoothness.

Tips for Precision

Shave at the end of your shower for maximum skin softening, as Sansnik’s testing suggests. Feel your skin frequently to check progress, especially around curves like jaws or knees. Use lots of water on your skin and razor to enhance glide, but keep the Blade Bar lightly wet. Your bar can stay mounted for months, ready for each shave, lasting 14+ weeks until stropping grooves or warping appear (typically 1–3 months). For travel, dry it and store flat. Adjust stropping for your water type—light pressure for foam in soft water, firm for gel in hard water—knowing performance stays flawless.
