Uhm this sounds kinda weird but anyways I usually keep my beard for longer than I want because whenever I shave I end up having these really painful and annoying razor bumps, ingrown hair etc etc w/e they're called...
So I found this website (http://www.grooming-health.com/shaving-tips-and-advice.php) with these awesome tips and thought of sharing it :thumbs:
The Basics of a Good Shave
° If possible take a hot shower before shaving, this opens the pores and softens the
whiskers.
° Wash the face before you start shaving, this removes any dirt which might get in the
way of the razor, it also lifts the hairs.
° If you're wet shaving apply the shaving cream in a circular motion, this lifts the
whiskers and works the shaving cream into the hairs.
° Shave the easier areas such as the cheeks 1st, this allows the shaving cream longer to
sink into the stubble softening it and making it easier for the razor to cut through.
° Shave 1st with the grain, when you have finished shaving apply lather again and shave
a 2nd time across the grain. For a really close shave re apply lather and shave against
the grain. In areas prone to irritation skip this last pass altogether as it can cause
discomfort.
° While shaving try to place as little pressure on the razor as possible too much pressure
can cause razor burn.
° If shaving with an electric razor apply an electric razor lubricant, this will cut down any
irritation and soften the whiskers. Shave the tender areas 1st as the razor will heat up
as you shave. Grooming Health recomends
° Whether wet shaving or shaving with an electric razor when finished splash your
face with cold water, pat dry and apply moisturiser or shaving balm to re-hydrate
and sooth the skin.
° Between shaves brush the stubble with a fine brush such as a tooth brush this
makes sure the hair is growing in the right direction and not curling back into the skin.
Allright
