Shaving Tips You Can Implement Right Now for A Better Shave
Shaving Tips to Improve Your Shave Today
Here are some simple tips you can implement today to help improve the quality of your shave.
- Wash your face with warm water before you shave. If you have a physical exfoliator like a facewash with pebbles or micro grit, use it to prepare your face for your shave.
- Use a fresh new quality blade for your shave.
- Make sure to drive the lather into your whiskers with your shaving brush. Take your time and apply your lather thoroughly.
- Aim for a 3-pass shave (no more than 3). Your first pass should be with the grain, the second pass across the grain, and the third pass against the grain.
- If you’re unfamiliar with your facial hair growth pattern, take your time to inspect your face and determine what your growth pattern is so you can effectively shave WTG, XTG, and ATG.
- Use the stretching and pulling technique to create a small amount of tension on your skin to help your razor get closer to the skin.
- After your second pass, use your hands to feel around your face to determine where you may have to do some pick-ups on your third pass. A pick-up is when you perform an additional pass on a specific area of your face to remove residual hair. (A stubborn area)
- Apply an aftershave and blam after your shave is complete.
These were some basic shaving tips that you can implement right away and get yourself a better shave.
