Shaving Tips
Don't use disposable blades more than once or twice. Soak in alcohol for 2-3 minutes before use.
Don't attempt to use twin or triple blades "closer-shaving" razors. The first blade stretches the skin; the second (and third) shaves too close, cutting hairs off below the skin line. When the skin bounces back, those hairs are set up to be trapped repeatedly under the skin every time you shave.
Don't use a rotary shaver. Circular blade motion cuts the hair in every imaginable direction which can cause more ingrown hairs.
Don't shave upward, against the grain, or shave back and forth over the same place repeatedly in an attempt to get a closer shave.
Don't forget to spray disinfectant on razors, clippers and/or T-edger blades, guards and attachments before and after shaving. Don't forget to take some with you to the barbershop. Do watch for barbershop sanitation (or lack of it).
Do change your clipper or T-edger blades every six months and don't share yours with anyone.
Do scrub very gently for no more than 30 seconds. Blot your face dry (no rubbing) with a soft towel.
Also if you work out don't wipe off sweat; blot dry instead.
