Wet Shaving

• The key to a painless shave is to use plenty of warm or hot water before shaving. Either have a bath, shower or use a hot flannel to soften the bristles and open up the pores of the skin.
• Make sure you massage your chosen shaving cream thoroughly into your stubble or beard. Use your fingers or a decent shaving brush.
• Slowly, and using short strokes, shave with the grain i.e. in the same direction as the hair growth. Failure to do so can cause razor burn, redness and rashes. Be especially careful around the neck areas which are particularly sensitive.
• Rinse your razor often in hot water.
• When you have finished shaving, rinse the shaved area with cool water.
• Use the best quality razors with the sharpest blades. As soon as you notice the blade is not performing then replace it, otherwise you'll end up with an uneven shave and cause irritation to your face and neck.
