Getting a better shave.

First is first deciding which method to use:

· electrical razor
Easier, yet not a close shave. How ever is good to alternate then. If you’re going to use this method than use a shaving oil to provide a smoother gliding surface.
· wet method
Is the most skin friendly method. different shaving products:
* OIL: For all one can apply it under any of the below products, to get an even better shave. Oils are great for dry skins and great for thick, heavy growth, due to it softening the hair. The only problem is that the oil cogs the blades thus one needs to rinse it more often.
* CREAM: Is for dry or sensitive skin, due to a moisture barrier that forms on the skin to help prevent dryness and also helps you against nicks and irritations.
* FOAM: good for oily skins, due to the drying effect on the skin.
*GEL: Good for oily and sensitive skins.
Before shaving look at the direction of the growth of the hair as it is better to shave with the grain. Its best to do a rough stretch of your face and the directions on the areas shaved.
· Chance your blades regularly, the heavier your bead the more frequently you need to chance the blade.
· Best time to shave is 20-30min after waking up, due to the skin being at its most relaxed state.
· Use Luke warm water
· Exfoliate the night before you shave as this lifts up the hairs lying flat on your skin.
· Moisturizes after wards and every other day.
