Video Transcript

"Hi I'm Joyce with Major League Trim, I will be speaking on behalf of Expert Village in this next clipping we would be talking about the straight razor shave. You are going to get your straight razor. Make sure your hands are clean. Again you want to watch that blade, it is brand new. You are going to turn your client to his side and you know I have already assets him so I know where his side burns to go. He wants them as low as possible. So you find his point and make your mark and it's always great to go with a straight swipe. You always make sure you want to feel the hair pattern so you know where his hair growth is, everybody is different, like a thumb print. So you just want to check and feel when you are rubbing that cream in. Inside the straight razor shave we do multiple steps and it would be a 2 step process. Meaning the first shave we get the tropical hair off and the second shave we get the last part of his hair off and any detail work. Now you notice here his skin that he has a sensitive skin very fair but it has a red hint in it. So you want to rub some of that water and that would do is bring up that oil that you have already put on his face. That will help coat his skin and protect it. You always want to stretch the skin so you get a good shave. You would notice here that the hair is growing so you would shave up with the grain and down here the hair is growing down so you shave down with the grain. Sometimes you have to adjust your blade according and that is okay cause it would keep the customer nice and comfortable. "
