Mens Skin Care Starts With the Perfect Shave

Tips for Shaving
Just a few quick and easy tips for shaving will guarantee great results each and every shave!

Some men may think it is easy to shave their face.

You can usually recognize them can't you?

They are the ones with the little cuts, stubbles, and missed spots.



In all seriousness, it is pretty easy to shave your face provided you follow a few simple steps in this regard.


Just follow along with these few sure fire shaving tips will guarantee the perfect shave each and every time.

These three yet very simple steps for mens shaving will have you looking your very handsome best in no time!

Let's get started, shall we?


  • 1. Preparation:
Preparation is the key to getting a good shave! (This is the foundation for all the tips for shaving that will give you the best results!) This means it is best to wash your face with soap and warm water prior to shaving.

Washing loosens and softens the 'five o'clock shadow' of hair that may be present. Additionally, it will make the skin looser and less resistant to the blade that will be scraping across it.

When the skin is too dry and not sufficiently warmed up prior to lathering it, cuts may end up developing and that is certainly best avoided.

Also, if you already have a large beard, you probably would want to trim it a little bit. You certainly can't run a razor across areas with excess hair growth so trimming these regions would be a better idea. Sometimes, adding a little shaving oil to your facial area and rubbing it in would be a smart plan as well.


  • 2. "The Shave":
As for the shave itself, you will need to apply a decent amount of shaving cream to your still warm and damp face.

The emphasis here is that you will need to use
real shaving cream.

Using lathered soap is often not all that effective and best avoided. Lather the shaving cream in the palm of your hand and rub it into the face.

You do not need to use a lot since the excess will be wasted but you do not want to under lather the area either. You could use a lather brush if you so desire as well.

When it comes to picking a blade, you need to pick one wisely. Cheap blades or blades that have been used to often can often cause unnecessary jagged cuts in the face so avoid using them at all costs.

Use a new blade and pick one that has a reputation for quality based on its brand. As for the actual shaving process, use straight clean strokes in small areas of the face.

Press lightly and avoid strokes that cover too much of the mass of the face. To do so will open the door for missing spots and you probably would not want that at all. Be careful and deliberate while avoiding being in a rush.

Again, you want to avoid missing areas and you definitely want to avoid cutting yourself.


  • 3. Finishing "The Shave":
After you have finished shaving, wash your face with warm water and towel off.

This will clean off the excess and the lather. If you missed any spots you can go back and shave them.

And adding a little aftershave to freshen up your face could prove to be a wise move as well.

Following these quick and easy tips for shaving will produce great results each and every shave!

Each and every day someone asks me how a severely technologically challenged "e"lliterate
like me built a website like this and manages to earn (lots) of extra income to boot.
Well, you start with a pair of very comfy PJ's, a computer and a few hours a week.
(Geesh! If I did it, then for goodness sakes anyone can, even you. . .)
Here's how to turn my "Website Success" story into one of your very own!
