11 A Beginner's Guide to Manual Shaving and Grooming | Crossover with "This Is How Business Works"
It is said that a man spends 3,000 hours of his life shaving, yet many men do not take shaving seriously. They use convenient electric shavers, going through the motions on their faces every day with a few circles and finishing hastily. This neither provides a truly smooth shave nor avoids many subsequent facial issues. However, if one adopts another approach, treating shaving as a serious pre-mirror ritual, one can gain greater enjoyment and a more spirited face. This method is traditional manual shaving, also known as wet shaving. In recent years, this niche grooming practice has been experiencing a revival. Both hosts of this episode are daily practitioners of wet shaving. In this episode, we will start with the principles, explain the advantages of wet shaving, introduce the entire shaving process, and provide a beginner's equipment guide (no ads). At the same time, we will also share some insights on grooming. On this program's Xiaohongshu account, Leftover Talk (Xiaohongshu ID: leftovertalk), we will also share the hosts' shaving equipment and some extra grooming experiences. I believe that after listening to this episode, you will have a completely new understanding of men's beards and faces.

11 手动剃须和理容入门指南 | 串台《商业就是这样》
据说一位男性一生要在剃须上花3000小时，但许多男性并不把剃须当回事，他们使用便捷的电动剃须刀，每天在自己脸上例行公事地转几个圈就草草结束。这既不会给自己带来一个真正光滑的剃须效果，也会带来许多后续的面部问题。但如果采用另一种方式，把剃须当作一个认真对待的镜前仪式，会获得更大的享受，和一张更精神的脸。 这种方式就是传统的手动剃须，或者叫湿式剃须。近年来，这种小众的理容方式正在复兴。本期节目的两位主播日常都是湿式剃须的日常实践者，在这期节目里，我们将从原理开始，解释湿式剃须的优势、介绍剃须的全流程、并且提供入门装备指南（无广）。同时，我们也会分享一些关于理容的心得，在本节目的小红书账号边角聊（小红书号：leftovertalk）里，我们也会分享主播的剃须装备和一些番外理容体验。相信听完这期节目，你会对男人的胡须和脸有全新的认识。
