Shaving Tips for the Guys

Shaving is an invasive activity, but you shouldn't abuse your face to get a close shave. Below are some tips to make your shaving experience and results much better!


Shave in the shower: The steam and warmth of a shower opens your pores and makes your hairs soft.

Lubricate: Use a good shaving gel or cream to lubricate your skin so that the blades glide without scraping your skin too much. Apply it to your face about one minute before you shave.

Use a face scrub: A gentle exfoliator will help open pores and raise hair stubs for a closer shave. This exfoliation removes dead cells and impurities that can cause acne, ingrown hairs and infection. Your complexion will also look better.

Makari has a good Clarifying Exfoliating Soap that would be perfect for this:


Use a sharp blade: Discard shaving blades after four or five uses, and use gentle strokes when shaving.

For special occasions: Shave in two easy steps. On the first go, shave with the grain using light pressure. The second time around, apply shaving cream and shave against the grain for super-close and smooth results.
