Men’s shaving tips

1
Prep your skin.
For the best result, preparation is key. Pre-shave, make sure the hair is thoroughly wet (it makes it weak and easier to cut). Showering before you shave is the ideal way to do this
2
Soften hair pre-shave.
To help make hair removal simple, try a pre-shave oil: it softens the hair and makes it more razor-friendly, while protecting skin with lubricants
3
Choose a gentle shaving cream.
Now for the action: use the best shaving cream you can find. Look out for products that contain moisturisers to keep your skin from drying out, such as Dove Men+Care Hydrate+ Pro-Moisture Shave Cream
4
Massage skin.
To help protect skin from the razor, the secret’s in the lather of your shaving cream: use circular movements to massage it into the skin and work up a thick, rich foam (this motion will also help to raise the hair, giving you a closer finish)
5
Shave with the grain.
Sounds simple but always be sure to shave with the grain (in the direction your hair grows). This will reduce your chances of having a shaving rash or, possibly worse, ingrown hairs
6
Use after-shave cream.
Finally, develop your post-shave routine. Skin needs to be soothed with an after-shave cream. It’ll relieve any redness and irritation and leave you with smooth, healthy looking skin
