"You're doing it wrong" ... seriously though, there are a series of steps that will result in a good shave without blood loss.
The most important is to understand that the hairs on your face act like spaghetti - they are so much softer when they have absorbed some water. So the key is, shave after you get out of the shower, or make sure your face has been wet for a few minutes before you apply lotion or gel and start to shave.
Second, go slower!
Third, either move your face muscles around or actually use the fingers on your other hand, to pull your skin taut in the area you shave, this will minimize the chance of a cut.
- DanBC 13y agoYes, shaving in the shower (with a suitable mirror) helped a lot. Using a small amount of shaving oil helped too. But now I just use a double edged blade and a brush and some nice soap (Joe's Mug Soap, dirt cheap, or other stuff which is not so cheap) and follow up with a moisturiser. Email me if you're an HN reader and you sell any of this stuff, because I'm interested. Especially if it smells like Bulldog Face Scrub.
