Shaving Comfortably: Prep, Technique, and Aftercare

Soften hair with warm water and use a shaving gel or cream to reduce friction. Use a clean, sharp razor, shave in the direction that feels comfortable for your skin, and avoid pressing hard or repeatedly going over the same area. Rinse the blade as you go and store it dry.

After shaving, rinse and pat the skin dry. Apply a simple moisturiser if that feels comfortable, and avoid fragranced products on freshly shaved or irritated skin. Replace blades according to their condition and the manufacturer’s guidance; never share razors.
