I had terrible problems with facial breakout after shaving, but now I always finish up every shave with a glycerine soap wash. That cleared me right up and no stinky overbearing after shave needed. I used to find the glycerine bars at Bath and Body in their bargain bins, but now have found them at the body shop.

Regarding the use of “witch hazel”. I buy the generic witch hazel at my local Rite-Aid for a nominal price, and not a fancy brand-name label witch hazel price. Poke a small hole in the inner foil liner, and you will be able dispense a small amount of hazel onto your hand to splash onto your face. This is after you have finsed off your face, finishing up with a cold water rinse and BLOTTING your face dry (do not rub). Enjoy!

A good wet shave, HOT water, a good shaving soap, gel or cream and a sharp razor. I shave my neck area first, pulling the skin tight to get a clean shave and then the rest of my face. Rinse it all off with cool water to close the pores…..feels great.

I have a beard and I shave my cheeks and neck to keep neat looking…

I recommend using rinse the face with hat water to open the pours and then use hot lather on cheeks and neck area and sharp blade to keep one self looking neat and presentable. Then follow up with a cool rinse and cologne of choice..

here is the trick i have found for a great shave:
1.) hot shower
2.) shaving oil
3.) quality shaving soap
4.) sharp razor
5.) shaving with the grain while stretching the skin
6.) cold water splash and then some quality balm (alcohol free)

using this method my shave is so good that i am still relatively smooth the next day. and i have a beard like a steel brush!

Not for us but for everyone else and our children’s children. Don’t let the water run while shaving. Run a little into the stoppered sink to rinse your razor as our grandfathers did. Water is a scarce commodity and needs to be treated as such. Thanks You will also enjoy the quieter shaving experience.

Warmth to the face is key! Get your skin toasty warm with a hot towel first, or splash some warm water on it. Post-shower shaving is ideal. Also, I use pre-shave oil which really helps the blade skim across the skin.. good stuff!!

Hydrate! Stretch the skin with your off hand; and take your time. Especially if you’re using a straight razor.
