How to shave your face carefully for the first time: Here are 5 rules to shave

To start shaving yourself without experience is a vain and dangerous job.

So, how to shave ? Learn from professionals!

Buy a good razor. Mandatory attributes for shaving are shaving brush and soap. Do not do without a belt for sharpening a razor. It is possible that the patch, to seal the cuts, should be at hand. But try to do without them.

Now you are a real macho, and, believe me, shaving with this “apprehension” will give you a lot of pleasant sensations and raise your self-esteem to an unattainable height. Over time, shaving will turn into a morning ritual, which all households are obliged to respect, literally tiptoe walking past the bathtub, where you meditate with a razor in your hands. After the first time, it will become clear that shaving is fairly easy if you have learned the simple rules that make this process comfortable, soft and safe.

1. First, be sure to prepare your skin. The bristles are softened with hot water, the temperature of which should be pleasant, but not burning the skin. It is even better to make a hot compress on your face: for this, a cotton towel is moistened with hot water and applied to the face for several minutes.

2. The  following is the process of soaping the soft bristles. Better use a special shaving cream, more soapy and soft. There is also a special soap that is whipped with a brush in steep foam. Many men prefer soap. By the way, a new brush must be doused with boiling water. And don't get the cheap one. The best is considered a badger shaving brush. Experienced craftsmen advise holding for several hours a new brush in a thick solution of ordinary laundry soap.

3. Have you thoroughly applied cream or foam to your face? Now wait a few minutes and think about something nice, let the special components “work” on your stubble.

4. Now start shaving. Take the razor knife with three fingers so that it is in relation to the skin of the face at an angle of 30 degrees. At the same time, stretch your skin with your free hand. Shaving usually starts from the cheeks, where the bristles are relatively soft. The upper lip and chin are shaved last. Bristles are stiffer and better when shaving cream or soap is affected longer.

5. First, run a razor in the direction of hair growth, and only then - against. The movements should be uniform, light. In the corners, above the upper lip, the razor is held steeply, but not at right angles, otherwise you can cut yourself. A razor is a dangerous and very sharp item - you must always remember this! There is one rule - never drive a razor in the direction of the blade, but only at a certain angle to it. To avoid cuts, the razor blade is constantly rinsed under a stream of hot water. If you feel that the shaving quality has become poor and sharpening does not help, immediately change the blade.

If you chose to shave with a dangerous razor, then know that it is the most effective. The person will always have a well-groomed appearance. A safety razor, that is, a machine tool, occupies the second place in terms of shaving quality, and the now popular electric shaver is the third.
