Personal Care Tips - How to become a Happy Shaver

Shaving can be a frustrating experience for some men. Thankfully there are a few things that can be done to make shaving a much more pleasant experience.

1) Upgrade...upgrade...upgrade
When something is not working a simple rule of thumb is to try something new. Sometimes we expect different results but we keep trying the same things. Look out for the best products that you can afford and make a habit of upgrading to the next level as often as possible. Use advanced razors and top grade products to improve your shaving experience.

2) Always sanitize your blade before shaving using rubbing alcohol. Never share razors with another person.

3) Change your blades as often as possible to ensure you get the best possible shave every time. Remember that dull blades can irritate the skin.

4) Make sure you exfoliate regularly and use good skin care products with active anti-microbial ingredients. Your skin can become sensitive and prone to irritation if it is already infected with bacteria and acne prone.

5) When shaving, follow the direction of hair growth. You can do this with a good sharp razor. Avoid the temptation of going against the grain to get a sharper cut (especially when your blade is dull) This can irritate the skin and lead to bumps.

6) Always use shaving creams, foams or gels. Avoid cheap products. Invest in quality products that will give you a good solid shave

7) The best time for shaving is after your bath when you hair is softer and more flexible

8) After shaving use shaving lotion, after shave or oils to massage and sooth the skin. Make sure that your shaving products are unscented because perfumes and fragrances can cause irritation.
