Men have been shaving for thousands of years – and some of them are STILL bad at it...
If you think shaving is a chore now – the Egyptians started it all – bathing several times a day and shaving with a clam shell. Expert barber Roxanne Griego says BEFORE you shave is what counts. You really have to warm the skin first and work in some cream or shaving soap - it plumps and pushes up the hair. She also says if you’ve got sensitive skin – stick to single edge blades. Multiple blades just irritate the skin more. When you’re done – rinse the blade but don’t dry it. Drying the blade with a towel just dulls it which just leads to razor bumps and ingrown hairs.
Electric razors are convenient and save a lot of time – but you’re shave won’t be nearly as close as with a straight or safety blade. There’s no reason you can’t use both – a blade for the initial close shave – with electric touch ups.
