Tips for the perfect shave |
-
Use a razor with at least two blades and a lubricating strip which colour fades away when the blade is no longer to be used.
-
The best time to shave is during the shower but after will work just fine. The reason for this is so that the warm water and steam help to open the pores and soften your beard. If you happen to shave after your shower, continue to use warm water the whole time throughout the process.
-
Cuts from rasing may bleed 15 minutes - to stop bleeding you can use a styptic pencil. Ifyou shave while in the showe the bleeding stops much quickly.
-
(Electric) dry shaver: If you take a shower before dry shaving it is important to wait until your face is completely dry before you start shaving. Taking a (hot) shower helps open your pores and soften your facial hairs.
-
Soften facial hairs with hot water - the shave area can handle hotter water than the rest of your body.
-
It is important to know in which direction your whiskers grow. It is usually not always in the same direction and mostly causes irritation for many men. Always shave with the beard, never against the grain. Go over the area once or twice.
-
Most side effects (like cuts and irritation) can be minimized by using a fresh blade(depending on the beard growth) and avoiding pressing down with the razor.
-
Do not share the razors with other people.
Aftershave - Balsam or Lotion? |
Every man knows the side effects after shaving like skin irritation, shave bumps, redness and burning sensations. Alcohol-based aftershave should not be applied to the skin immediately after shaving protecting it from skin irritation and dryness. It is better to apply a balm or toner which contains no alcohol. Instead, apply a balm or toner with ingredients that will moisturize and nourish your skin.
