Mastering the art of shaving in 5 steps for beginners

Daily shaving is a crucial step in men's grooming routine. Not only does it contribute to maintaining a neat appearance, but it can also influence the facial skin's health. In this article, we will explore the best practices and tips for achieving a flawless shave.

Shaving Preparation

Tip 1: Beard Moisturization

Before using your razor, make sure to thoroughly wet your beard. But beware, it's not just about wetting the outer surface. We recommend taking the time to prepare your beard by soaking it in warm water. This will make the hair more pliable and open the pores of the skin, making the shaving process much easier.

Shaving preparation

Wrap your face in a warm towel for a few minutes before shaving. Additionally, using a pre-shave product such as oil or cream can also help soften beard hairs, providing a smoother shaving experience and reducing the risk of skin irritation.

Tip 2: Use of a shaving brush

Use the shaving brush to evenly distribute the soap or cream on your face in circular motions. This technique promotes the creation of a rich and creamy lather, making the shaving process easier.

Furthermore, the circular motions of the brush help exfoliate the skin, promoting a smoother and more comfortable shave. The lather generated by the brush acts as a lubricant, facilitating the razor's glide while reducing the risk of skin irritation.

Choosing Your Shaving Tools

Tip 3: Choose the right blade

It is essential to choose your razor wisely. Opt for a high-quality blade that suits your skin type and beard density. Precise blades ensure a clean and comfortable shave, reducing the risk of irritation. If you're unsure which razor to choose, check out our tips here.

Which razor to choose

Regularly change your blades to maintain optimal performance. A clear sign that it's time to replace the blade is a decrease in shaving sharpness, an increased sensation of irritation, or pulling during shaving.

In general, it is recommended to change the blade every 5 to 10 uses, depending on the hardness of your beard and the quality of the blade.

Advanced Shaving Techniques

Tip 4: Angle and Pressure

It is important to master the shaving angle to avoid cuts and irritations. Maintain your razor at a 30-degree angle to the skin to ensure optimal contact without causing damage. Additionally, avoid excessive pressure and opt for a gentle pressure for a smooth shave.

To ensure a consistent shaving angle, follow the grain of your beard. By observing the direction of hair growth, you can adjust the razor angle for more effective contact. If you feel resistance during shaving, do not force the razor, as it could lead to irritation.

Instead, reassess the angle and pressure for a comfortable and precise shave. Proper technique not only contributes to a quality shave but also minimizes the risk of unwanted skin irritations.

Tip 5: Strokes

The direction of shaving strokes can make all the difference. Opt for gentle and short strokes in the direction of hair growth to minimize irritation. If necessary, you can make a second pass in the opposite direction, but do so with caution.

Aftershave, a Crucial Step

Tip 6: Hydration and Soothing

After shaving, do not overlook the aftershave step. Use a soothing and moisturizing product to calm the skin and reduce potential redness. Opt for alcohol-free formulas to avoid any burning sensation.

Apply the product generously after shaving, gently massaging to promote optimal absorption. A well-thought-out aftershave routine can not only soothe the skin immediately after shaving but also contribute to the prevention of long-term irritations.

after shave products

If your skin is prone to irritation, opt for aftershave products enriched with soothing ingredients such as aloe vera or chamomile. These natural components can help soothe the skin, reduce inflammation, and promote quick recovery after shaving. Also, ensure that your aftershave contains moisturizing agents to maintain the skin's hydration balance.

Apply the product generously after shaving, gently massaging to promote optimal absorption. A well-thought-out aftershave routine can not only soothe the skin immediately after shaving but also contribute to the prevention of long-term irritations.
