- Properly preparing your face by washing with warm water and a gentle face wash can help you achieve a smoother shave. Washing your face removes the dirt and debris that can hinder the glide of your razor. Using a gentle face scrub twice a week will optimize the shaving experience.
- When using shave cream, start by applying to the areas with toughest beard growth such as the chin. This gives the cream more time to penetrate and soften the beard.
- Nothing can hurt your face more than using a worn-out razor. Switch out your blade(s) the moment you notice your razor becoming dull. Signs include increased post-shave irritation/razor burn and frequent cuts.
- Always moisturize and condition your face with an alcohol-free aftershave balm or lotion. Don’t skimp in this department – one layer is usually not enough. Continue to apply until any sign of discomfort or irritation is gone and your face is properly moisturized.
- If you shower after you shave, be sure to moisturize again after showering.
