This morning my wife (an Occupational Therapist by trade) suggested an idea for a shaving video that I thought was really good: how to shave someone else. Specifically, how to shave a family member who might be too old or disabled to shave themselves. Sharpologist has had a similar post about this but it was more about the family connection. This would be a video more about the “mechanics” of such a shave.



So for the barbers or care-givers reading, what special ideas or procedures should be kept in mind for shaving someone else at home? I’m guessing that you don’t want to go for that “baby’s butt smooth” shave but a good, comfortable shave with “consumer” kit. What about wrinkled skin? How to work with someone who experiences tremors? Go with a shaving brush or use a brushless product? Your comments and suggestions here would be very welcome!
