Shaving: The Year In Review

What a great year it has been to be using a razor. I hope my blog entries have help teach you some helpful tips on shaving and your skin. Here’s a recap of some of the year’s highlights…

1) Shaving exfoliates, and can leave your skin sensitive. Make sure to moisturizer after you shave.

2) Shave a prepared beard. Soften your bristles with warm water. Try shaving after the shower.

3) Technique is key. Try light, short strokes in the direction of your hair growth.

4) Wash your face once or twice a day to remove excess dirt and oil. Over washing can cause problems for your skin!

5) Care for your razor and it will care for you. Make sure to clean and store your blades properly after each use.

6) Shave as frequently as you need to. Some people have denser beards, and others light ones. You may have sensitive skin or not be bothered by anything. Trial and error will help you figure out what works best for you.

7) Ingrown hairs and nicks in the skin happen to everyone. Just be prepared on how to deal with them. (Check out the old posts on these topics.)

Shaving is a life long activity. Knowing what to do and what not to do can help make the process easier and allow you to look the best you can!

Happy shaving!
