By following
these steps, you should achieve an ultra-smooth, close shave and
eliminate all those shaving troubles such as cuts and shaving rash.
Make sure your
stubble or hair has been thoroughly soaked with warm water, this causes the hair to expand, which makes it easier and
softer to cut.
Ensure that the
shaving foam or gel is massaged into the stubble or hair. Water
absorbs very quickly therefore shaving foam or gel provides a
protective blanket, which prevents the evaporation of water and
keeps beards soft during the shave.
Use light gentle
strokes when shaving. Rinse the razor frequently to prevent the
build up of hairs and shave cream on the blade edges and in the
cartridge. This improves razor glide for a smoother shave.
Do not press too hard especially around the sensitive areas.
Cheeks, sides of
face and neck tend to be the easiest areas to shave therefore
they should be shaved first. The toughest hair grows on the
chin and around the lips. These should be shaved last,
allowing the shave cream time to soften them further.
Shave slowly
using short strokes and rinse the blade often in hot water.
Try to shave in the
direction of hair growth, as shaving in the opposite direction
increases the risk of redness and razor burn.
Rinse the area that you have shaved with cool water.
