10 TIPS FOR A PERFECT SHAVE
Tip 1
SHAVE IN THE MORNING
Your skin is at its softest and most relaxed just after you wake up, so the razor glides easier.
Tip 2
ALWAYS USE A PRE-SHAVE CREAM
It softens and straightens the hairs, making it easier to apply the shaving soap to your beard.
TIP 3
WRAP YOUR FACE IN A WARM, WET TOWEL
Do it like traditional barbers do. Otherwise, shave after your morning shower when the skin is soft and hydrated from the warm water.
TIP 4
THE BEST SHAVE COMES FROM A BRUSH AND SHAVING SOAP
Shaving soap increases the volume of your beard hair and allows for a closer shave. To build up a rich lather, wet your shaving brush and apply the soap in fast, repeated circular motions to coat the brush bristles well.
TIP 5
WHILE SHAVING, USE A DELICATE BUT FIRM TOUCH
Don’t put too much pressure on the razor and follow the lines of your face, always keeping the skin pulled tight.
TIP 6
KEEP YOUR RAZOR CLEAN
Rinse the blades with hot water at least once every two swipes of the razor. Residue from past shaves can reduce the blades’ effectiveness and increase the risk of damaging your skin. Also remember to change your razor often.
TIP 7
FOR SOFT, PERFECT SKIN, ONE PASS DOESN'T CUT IT
Lather your face a second time and repeat the shave.
TIP 8
DON'T NEGLECT YOUR POST-SHAVE ROUTINE
Rinse your face well and repeatedly to remove any residue.
TIP 9
ALWAYS USE PRORASO AFTER SHAVE BALM OR LOTION (OR BOTH)
Even if you’ve shaved to perfection, your skin will still feel stressed and need to be restored and softened. If you're using both the balm and the lotion, apply balm first to calm, soothe, and moisturize, and finish with a splash of lotion to tone and seal.
TIP 10
TAKE CARE OF YOUR SKIN
If you don't shave daily or have problems with ingrown hair, apply a face cream daily.
