Shaving can be a daily chore or delight for many men across the globe. Methods including electric and manual razors being the tool of choice in the endeavours for the closest, most comfortable shave.
When priming ones face for a shave it is best to open the pours up. By having a hot shower or placing a hot towel on the face for a few minutes it gets the skin ready for the actual shave. Couple that with an exfoliation will remove all dead skin from your face so the blades don’t clog up and can do their job properly.
Ideally you should look to change the blade art around the 6 shave mark to ensure you get the best shave possible. Blunt blades will mean you put your skin under more pressure that could lead to a not so nice outbreak of irritation.
Most men’s preference is to use oil or cream when shaving to reduce a chance of irritation allowing the razor to glide over the skin. Popular products include Argan oil and coconut oil.
When you shave go against the grain of your hair to reduce the chance of clogged pours. Moisturise after with products with aloe, tree-tree and chamomile to soothe your skin.
