The first step to achieving a good shave is preparing the face. Without this step, you may find that shaving your face is difficult, the hairs are harder, and your skin isn’t as clean or well protected. Besides, what’s the use of having all of those fancy shaving tools that you bought from a company like The Art of Shaving if you aren’t even going to use any of them? If you want to have the ideal shave, don’t forget to follow all of the four basic steps, including preparation. How to Prep the Face This first step is often overlooked by people either because they think it unimportant or simply forget. But preparing the skin and beard for shaving are very important. The ideal time to shave is right after or during a hot shower. Hot water opens up your pores, cleans the skin, and softens the hairs so that they are easier to shave. To further soften the beard, you will likely want to use pre-shave oil. Good oil will also prepare the skin for a close and comfortable shave without leaving a residue. To use the oil, pour out and rub a small amount onto your hands and massage it into the beard. Then get your shaving cream out to complete the other shaving steps. Steps 2, 3, and 4 to a Good Shave After you are fully prepped it’s time to move on to step 2: lathering up. Get out your shaving cream or soap and create a nice rich lather to put all over your face. The shaving cream helps protect the skin from the razor and soften your beard. Next, get out your razor and start shaving. Last but not least, use some after-shave from The Art of Shaving or your favorite company to moisten and soften the skin. The Art of Shaving has become the best-selling men’s brand at high-end department stores. Their own stores can be found in over 66 locations nationwide. The Art of Shaving was acquired by Procter & Gamble in June 2009. The Art of Shaving was started in a kitchen. Today the company is a worldwide organization still nurtured by the founders' talent and passion. They have succeeded in creating a brand with a mission, one that promises to be a household name for generations to come. http://www.theartofshaving.com
