Shaving Tips

STEP 1: WASH IT

How:

Start by washing your face with soap and warm water. Feels good, right?

Why:

Water allows your whiskers to soften. The soap removes oils from your hair and skin, but it’s NOT a shaving gel substitute, pal.

STEP 2: APPLY IT

How:

Apply a layer of gel to face and let sit for three minutes. What you do with your free time is up to you, big guy.

Why:

Gel provides extra moisturizers to soften skin, reduce friction and carry away debris removed by the razor blade. It can also make you look kinda badass.

STEP 3: SHAVE IT

How:

Most guys say to shave in the direction your hair grows. But, if you’re not a super-sensitive lad, you’ll get a closer shave going against the grain. Ladies dig the smooth.

Why:

With sensitive skin you’ll avoid irritation if you follow most guys’ advice. Either way, go slow and avoid rapid strokes. The only things speed gets you here is a date with tissue pieces.

STEP 4: RINSE IT

How:

Immediately after shaving, splash your face with cold water to remove all traces of lather. Look at you now, champ!

Why:

The cold water closes your facial pores, plus no one wants to walk around with shave gel on their face. Be sure to check those earlobes, too.

STEP 5: REST IT

How:

Rest your skin for 30 minutes before applying any kind of lotion or medications, or before going swimming…really.

Why:

Skin is most sensitive after shaving, so waiting will prevent inflammation or irritation. Plus, chlorine or salt water may sting if you rush in for a dip.

FINAL STEP: THUMBS UP!

How:

NICE JOB, HOW DOES IT FEEL TO GET YOUR EDGE?
