In this “How to” series I will be explaining how to shave properly! First, you will need to make sure to wash your body well with soap and water. Exfoliating is the first and most important step in shaving because it helps remove dead skin cells. When exfoliating, make sure to exfoliate with a loofah sponge, glove, or brush to remove any dirt from your body. This helps obtain a cleaner and smoother shave.
Next, you need to get some shaving cream or shaving oil and rub it over where you plan to shave. Prepping with shaving cream or shaving oil will help you prevent getting razor bumps because it hydrates your skin, so the shaving will go smoother. Then, you need to get a razor and shave gently over your skin.
While shaving, make sure to shave in the direction of your hair growth first, not against it. You can then shave at an angle from left to right, then go the other way, right to left. Then you can shave against the direction in which your hair grows. This is just to make sure you are not missing any spots where there might be tiny hairs you missed. After you are done shaving, you should wash your body again with any kind of body wash.
Lastly, you will dry yourself off and apply a lotion of your choice and body oil! This way, you will have soft, smooth, and moisturized skin. Some of the best brands for women’s shaving products are EOS, Dove, Flamingo, Tree Hut, and Venus by Gillette. Some of the best brands for men’s shaving products are Harry’s, Jack Black, Old Spice, Cremo, and Dove.
I hope this brief explanation will help make shaving easier and a better experience for you!
