Wet shaving and skin care guide

It’s not a secret, if you have regular shaving at the best Barber Shop in the New York City, you don’t know what skin irritation, cuts and nicks are. But when you try to repeat this procedure at home, it’s very likely they will appear.

That’s why it is very important to prepare carefully, when you are going to have wet shaving at home. On this occasion the best Barber Shop in the New York City has prepared tips how to shave without cuts, skin irritation and stress.

Tip #1.

At the very beginning take a shower with the exfoliating scrub. It’s necessary because scrub will help you to clean your skin from the dead cells, make your facial hair softer and push it up for better shaving.

Tip #2.

Warm shower will open pores of your skin, and it will help make it more yielding to the blade.

The secret is that your skin should be as wet and warm as possible during the whole shaving.

So, if you have enough time in reserve, we suggest you to take a towel water it and put into the microwave oven for two minutes. If it is available add bergamot essential oil, and then put this towel onto your face and relax for about two-tree minutes.

Tip #3.

Apply some pre-shave oil or gel. It will reduce irritation and friction without blocking up the razor.

Tip #4.

Stretch the skin as much as possible. It will help to make the surface of the face flatter and tauter and the shave closer. Try to shave in the direction of the hair grain. If you will shave against the hair grain you can pull out the hairs from the root, and this is the main cause of irritation.

Tip #5.

As soon as you have finished with the razor, rinse your face with cold water to cool it down (or just put it into the freezer, joke). It will help to close pores and calm skin.

Tip #6.

Apply some aftershave, for example, with the citrus extract. It works as an antiseptic.

Your skin can get dry after shaving, so it is important to avoid alcohol-based products which also can cause irritation.

Tip #7.

Finish with the spritzing the cologne water. It will add the masculine smell to your smooth face. But be careful, apply it only to the wrists and the back of the neck as a precautionary measure against the irritation.

We hope these tips will be useful for you and shaving will pass clear as a whistle.
