How to shave properly?

Shaving is a daily ritual for many men and, if done correctly, can make the difference between a well-groomed appearance and a neglected face. Following a correct shaving routine can prevent skin irritation, folliculitis and ensure smooth and healthy skin. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to shave properly.

1. Preparation of the Skin and Hair:

Before starting shaving, it is essential to prepare the skin and hair. An effective way to do this is to wash your face with warm water and a mild cleanser. This helps open pores and soften hair, making shaving easier.

2. Application of a Good Pre-Shave Product:

Using a quality pre-shave product can make all the difference. Choose a gel or foam that contains hydrating ingredients such as aloe vera or chamomile to reduce skin irritation and improve blade glide.

3. Using a Good Blade and Quality Foam:

Investing in a good blade is essential to getting a clean, irritation-free shave. Quality blades reduce the risk of cuts and irritation. Apply a quality lather evenly to your face to ensure even coverage and a smooth shave.

4. Correct Shaving Technique:

Correct shaving technique is crucial. Shaving in the direction of hair growth reduces the risk of irritation. If you want a closer shave, you can swipe in the opposite direction again, being careful not to put too much pressure on the skin.

5. Blade Hygiene:

Keeping the blades clean and sharp is essential for an effective and safe shave. After each use, clean the blade carefully and, if necessary, replace it regularly.

6. Post-shave hydration:

After shaving, apply a moisturizer or aftershave lotion to soothe your skin and prevent irritation. Opt for products that contain ingredients like vitamin E or hyaluronic acid to keep your skin hydrated.

7. Storage of Tools:

Storing your shaving tools properly is equally important. Be sure to dry the blade thoroughly after use and store it in a clean, dry place to prevent bacteria from forming.

By following these steps, you will enjoy an easier and more comfortable shave, while maintaining healthy skin and a well-groomed appearance. Experiment with different products and techniques to find the shaving routine that works best for you.
