Shaving hurts. Following some simple steps involving a shaving brush and shaving cream can go a long way to protecting your skin from cuts and burns. The art of shaving is a careful skill that requires experimentation and patience. Many men and women struggle with the daily chore of shaving. Often times a shave can start out well and end with cuts, gashes, razor burn, and ingrown hairs. Adult acne that results from these razor burns makes many people question why they even try to shave in the first place. It seems self-self why older generations and other cultures leave hair where it is. There are, however, certain steps that should be followed before, during, and after shaving to ensure the best results possible in order to leave skin feeling fresh and smooth like the day you were born. 1. Wash skin thoroughly. Using warm water to wash the face pulls out dirt and grease and opens pores. The opening of the pores allows the hair stand on end a little more than it would dry creating space for the razor to pass by and shave on the first swipe. The fewer swipes you use to shave, the smaller the opportunity for cuts and razor burns. Aside from washing with warm water, it is popular to use a wet hot towel on the face for similar results. 2. Use shaving cream. Putting some kind of lubrication on the face, whether cream or soap, helps separate the blade from the skin slightly. Eliminating unneeded friction help keep the skin from becoming irritated. 3. Use a shaving brush. A course brush to apply cream helps lift hair even further to get a closer shave. Doing these steps and using after shave will help keep skin happy, smooth, and healthy. The Art of Shaving is a growing company at the forefront of the rapidly expanding men's grooming industry.
