Shaving tips

Preparation for shaving
1. You should choose a high-quality razor (whether manual or electric, you should refer to other people's comments or opinions when purchasing) to be handy.
2. Shave at the same time or after taking a hot bath.
3. Before shaving, apply shaving oil to protect skin and soften beard.
4. Always use hot water when shaving, because hot water can soften beard, open pores and clean skin.
 
Play foam
1. Use shaving cream or shaving soap containing glycerin to make foam. Do not use foam or gel products, or other products containing numbing factors such as benzocaine or menthol, because these products will close pores and harden whiskers.
2. It is better to use a shaving brush made of badger hair. This kind of brush has a soft texture, can make the beard stand upright, and can also brush rich foam.
 
Shaving
1. When shaving, you must shave according to the texture of the beard, that is, along the direction of the growth of the beard. If reverse scraping, it is easy to cause beard to grow inward or scratch the skin.
2. Pay attention to whether the growth direction of the beard on the neck is consistent with that of the face. If not, pay attention to adjust the direction of the shaver when shaving.
3. The handle of the shaver should have a certain weight. In this way, the strength is balanced properly, and you will feel more comfortable.
4. Do not use too much force when shaving, otherwise it is easy to scratch and irritate the skin. The razor should be allowed to slide gently across the face.
 
Maintenance
1. After shaving, apply an alcohol free aftershave cream or soothing gel on your face, which can nourish and lubricate the skin under your beard. It is like providing a nutrient rich soil for your beard, which will naturally grow up. Remember, do not use aftershave water containing alcohol, as it will irritate the skin, resulting in dry skin and loss of beard.
2. If you accidentally scratch your face and bleed, you can use alum block or styptic pen to stop the bleeding. If you want to be economical, you can also use lipstick!
