Do you ever look at yourself in the mirror and think to yourself, ‘today is the day I will give myself the perfect shave (that you've been trying to achieve for a gazillion days).' However, deep inside, you seriously doubt your shaving skills and expertise.
Whether you’ve been unsuccessfully trying to get the task done since you were a teen, or you simply got fed up with looking like a caveman, it’s never too late to learn the subtle art of shaving. If you still feel it’s a task too challenging for the common man to master, rest assured, it is not.
How about we unravel all the tips and tricks to master the art of shaving and to kickstart your journey of achieving an envious shave?
Before you get all pumped up, pick up your trusted razor and start shaving, there are a few fundamentals you need to sort out first. First of all, you need to understand that every one of you has a different pattern and thickness of facial hair that largely depend upon your genetics.
Secondly, if you are new to this game, it may take your skin some time to get the hang of this process. However, when you are equipped with the necessary knowledge and handy tips, your shave will be nothing less than perfection.
Let's look at the essential know-how for getting that oh-so-perfect shave:
Start by finding the shaving cream of your dreams. How exactly do I do this, you may ask?
The answer is super easy; all you have to do is choose one according to your skin type. Remember that the best shaving creams contain several moisturizing ingredients and lubricants.
The ideal shaving cream should give you a creamy and rich lather without too much foam. Another bonus of using a good quality shaving cream is that it increases the lifespan of your beloved razors.
No gentleman ever got the perfect shave with a dull razor. This is why it's best to regularly check on your razor. When your razor's edges become dull, or it doesn't shave as well as it did before, it's time you change your beloved buddy. Ideally, you should replace your old razor after using it 10 to 20 times on average.
Let’s look at a quick tip that will ensure your razor lasts you longer. We all know how expensive disposable razors can be, so to make them last longer, run them up and down lengthwise on your jeans. Remember to run them in the opposite direction of how you normally shave. This technique helps keep your blades nice and sharp for longer periods and will help with a close shave.
No one can master the art of a perfectly shaved beard without having the right tools by their side. Now, what tools are they?
For starters, a shaving brush may seem like the most useless thing in the world; however that is so not the case. It shines out like quite the star as it makes your facial hair rise, forms lather, and also exfoliates along the way, ensuring you get the perfect shave.
The subtle art of shaving requires some must-haves that you should have by your side include:
Its pre trim time:Before you embark on your shaving expedition, it is always a good idea to check the length of your facial hair first.
If it is long, use clippers or scissors to trim it. Longer hair will keep collecting in the razor and may cause it to dull before its time. So the best way to go about this is to trim your facial hair as short as you can before you apply your shaving cream.
Wet that hair: Remember, wet hair is always easier to cut and will allow you to get the perfect shave you crave for. Ideally, you should take a nice hot shower beforehand; if that isn't possible, you can always splash some warm water on your face to prep your man beard for a shave.
Heat is an excellent source for the pores on your face to open up. Barbers use a warm towel method for this specific purpose, and you should too. Simply put a towel dipped in hot water on your face to allow the hair to soften and the pores to open up. Shaving a dry and cold face isn't something that anyone would enjoy.
Yes, it's about time you knew how to shave right. If you are using a shaving brush, remember to apply your trusted shaving cream at the tip of the bristles. Then by using circular motions, apply the cream all over the parts of your face you want to shave.
If you aren't a big fan of shaving brushes, you can go all-in with your hands. Use your fingers to massage the cream onto the area you want to shave while maintaining an upward and circular motion.
To get the perfect shave, you obviously need to polish your shaving technique. Lucky for you, we will spill the beans on how to achieve just that.
Before you start shaving, make sure you are aware of the ‘grain’ of your hair. Grain what? For those who don’t know, the ‘grain’ is also referred to as the direction in which your facial hair is growing. You limit the chance of getting razor bumps, cuts and irritation simply by shaving with the grain.
Just remember:
Have you mastered the art of shaving? Not quite yet!
Now that you have gotten yourself a shave that will be every man’s envy, you must know that you aren’t done yet. You need to take certain steps to protect your smooth and hair-free face from irritation and possible infection.
