Don't get burned by bad shaving habits.
Here are some tips on how to minimize razor burn and irritation.
Most of us face it every now and again, but the right shaving habits and tools
can put that burn on ice.
First, hydrate to minimize nicks, cuts, and irritation.
Ideally shave during or after a warm shower.
Hydrating softens your hair, allowing the razor to glide more easily.
Use a face wash your facial scrub to remove oil, dirt,
and dead skin for a comfortable shave.
Dry shaving is a leading cause of razor burn, so grab your shaving gel.
A good one lets the razor glide smoothly across your face,
and holds in hydration as you go.
Allow it time to soak in.
Another culprit of razor burn is dull blades.
Check the lubricating strips.
If they're faded or worn, or if the blades seem dull,
it's time to replace them.
Remember, shaving is not the time to show off your strength.
Use light, gentle strokes, and let your razor do the work.
Don't forget to rinse the blades often.
Facial hair grows in many directions, so you'll
be shaving both with and against the grain.
Shave in the direction that feels most comfortable.
Wash your face with cool water and pat it dry.
Rub in a hydrating aftershave to replenish moisture and soothe
your skin.
Great job.
Now you can get a close shave, without feeling the burn.
