Tips for a Smooth Shave Every Time
A smooth shave doesn’t just happen. It takes time, practice and a little know-how. How you shave and the products you use can reduce those cuts, bumps and itches. Here are some tips for a smooth shave every time.
Wash or shower before shaving: The steam from a hot shower will open your pores and soften your hair. That makes for a closer shave and less irritation. Spend at least 3 minutes in the shower to get the full benefits.
Exfoliate before shaving: Exfoliating with a washcloth or loofah removes dead skin cells that can clog your razor and lead to nicks and redness. Do it before you shave to avoid irritation.
Use shaving cream, not soap: Shaving cream adds lubrication that helps the razor glide over your skin. It also reduces friction to help prevent nicks and cuts.
Shaving direction matters: Shaving against the grain can give you a closer shave, but it also increases the risk of razor burn, nicks and cuts. For a less irritating shave, go with the grain.
End with a after shave moisturizer: A post-shave moisturizer will help soothe your skin and replenish lost moisture. Look for one that’s alcohol-free to avoid drying out your skin further.
Ignore myths about thicker hair regrowth: Shaving doesn’t change the thickness or colour of your hair follicles, so don’t believe those old wives’ tales.
Replace your razor foils and cutting blades regularly:
How often you need to replace your razor will depend on how often you use it. If you notice an accumulation of gunk or waste in your razor, don’t try to clean it out with a brush or other tool. If the waste doesn’t rinse out easily with a stream of water, it’s time for a replacement. Even if it still cuts well, a razor with impacted waste can introduce bacteria into open pores or cuts and cause an infection.
With these tips, you can achieve a smooth shave every time without all the nicks, cuts and irritation. Remember to shower first, exfoliate, use shaving cream, go with the grain, end with moisturizer and replace your razor regularly.
