According to The Art of Shaving, an upscale men's boutique in New York, the correct way to begin shaving is with the grain, or in the direction that your facial hair grows. "Swimming upstream," or going against the grain, could result in ingrown hairs, razor burn, or worse. But going against the grain is okay as a secondary technique, in order to get a really close shave. A few other tips for the discerning shaver: - Shave during or after a hot shower (not before!).
- Always use hot water.
- Glide the razor gently, so as to
avoid unsightly blemishes.
- Careful! Your neck hair may flow against your face hair. Shave accordingly!
- Moisturizing lotion is never a bad idea.
So there you have it. If you're considering shaving your head or other parts of your body, there are lots of other factors to keep in mind. We'll let you research those topics on your own.
