Seven Tips for Getting a Close Shave
-
Before shaving, it is helpful if the hair and skin have been wet for at least three minutes.
-
Wash the area to be shaved with warm water, and with a gentle body wash to moisten the skin and hair. Washing raises the hair held down by dirt and natural body oils.
-
Apply shaving gel in a circular motion to add a layer of protection to the skin. For best results, let the shaving gel rest on the skin one minute before shaving to further moisten the hair for a closer and more comfortable shave.
-
Use a sharp razor with three or four blades when shaving; the more blades, the closer the cut; and there is less pulling and tugging of the hair.
-
Lightly move the razor over the hair. The blade should do the work, not your wrist. Pressing down too hard with the razor scrapes and irritates the skin.
-
Rinse shaved hair and gel from the razor often as you shave.
-
After shaving, rinse the skin clean, pat dry, and then immediately apply a favorite hydrating moisturizer.
