How to shave your face

A good shave is art. Whether you're ready to have your first shave, or you've been shaving for years but have never been sure if you're doing it correctly, knowing how to prepare your face, shave properly, and take care of your skin will help you get a great, clean, and close shave.

*Preparing Your Face*

Choose an appropriate razor. You should take into account the coarseness of your beard hairs, the texture of your skin, your preferred shaving method, and other details when choosing a razor. Generally speaking, for heavy-bearded men with more sensitive skin, it is generally good to use a traditional multi-blade razor.

Electric razors are convenient and quick, requiring less preparation before shaving than safety razors, and are somewhat gentler on sensitive skin. For some types of hair, however, they tend to leave an uneven or patchy shave on the face. More traditional razors work well on all types of skin and for all types of hair.

Individuals who get shaving bumps can use specially designed razors, typically marketed towards men with coarse hair. The key is for the razor not to cut too closely, so that the hair does not fail to emerge from the skin as it grows. Use of a pre-shave, liquid or talc, and a post-shave treatment for shaving bumps also can help.

If you have acne and need to shave an area, try both an electric and a safety razor to see which is more comfortable. Soften the hair with warm soap and water and then shave as lightly as possible.

*Keep your shaving kit ready and clean and sharp*

Shaving with a dull razor is how cuts happen, and it makes the skin very irritated. Only shave with sharp, clean razor blades.

Before you shave, it's common to fill the sink with cold, clean water to use for rinsing the blade. Hot water will only make the blade expand and dull up, so it's common to use cold water on your razor.

*Trim your beard down first*

If you've got a beard, it's important to use clippers or scissors to trim the hair as short as possible before going using the razor. Electric clippers are best for this purpose. Take the guard off and trim your beard away completely.

Never lather up a full beard and attempt to use a razor on it. This will be extremely painful and ineffective at removing the hair.
