Men’s shaving tips

For the best result, preparation is key. Pre-shave, make sure the hair is thoroughly wet (it makes it weak and easier to cut). Showering before you shave is the ideal way to do this 

To help make hair removal simple, try a pre-shave oil: it softens the hair and makes it more razor-friendly, while protecting skin with lubricants

Now for the action: use the best shaving cream you can find. Look out for products that contain moisturisers to keep your skin from drying out, such as Dove Men+Care Hydrate+ Pro-Moisture Shave Cream 

To help protect skin from the razor, the secret’s in the lather of your shaving cream: use circular movements to massage it into the skin and work up a thick, rich foam (this motion will also help to raise the hair, giving you a closer finish)

Sounds simple but always be sure to shave with the grain (in the direction your hair grows). This will reduce your chances of having a shaving rash or, possibly worse, ingrown hairs

Finally, develop your post-shave routine. Skin needs to be soothed with an after-shave cream. It’ll relieve any redness and irritation and leave you with smooth, healthy looking skin
