Shaving Tips for Men
Shaving in the shower softens up the beard and makes for a smoother shave. Whether you use a cream or a gel, it's not how much you put on, it's how you apply it.
Apply shaving cream or lotion by massaging it lightly onto the skin.
This causes the pilli muscles to life the hairs up which makes them easier to cut. Single blades give a better shave than double or triple ones do. Change your blade when it is no longer sharp.
Shave in the direction that your hair grows for the first one or two passes, then reverse and shave against the grain the final time.
Rinse your face with cool water after your shave and pat, don't rub, with a towel.
Some men have to shave their faces twice per day although daily shaving is much more common.
