How to Have the Most Comfortable Shave. Prep, During, Aftercare

A comfortable shave isn’t just about the blade — it’s about the whole ritual. Here’s how to turn your routine into a smooth, irritation-free experience.

Step 1: Prep Like a Pro

Wash your face with warm water or shower first — this softens hair.

Use a gentle cleanser or scrub to remove dirt and dead skin.

Always lather up with a quality shave gel or cream.

Step 2: During the Shave

Use short, light strokes — let the razor do the work.

Rinse the blade after every pass to keep it sharp and clean.

Shave with the grain first (with hair growth), then against if you want extra closeness.

Step 3: Aftercare Matters

Rinse with cool water to close pores.

Pat dry — don’t rub.

Apply a soothing aftershave balm or moisturiser to lock in hydration.
