How to use a manual razor? Here are six tips

Although electric shavers are now convenient and diverse, many men still prefer manual shavers because they are economical and have better shaving effects. In addition, many people believe that using a manual shaver to shave is more masculine. However, many men are prone to scratching their faces when using a manual shaver because of improper use.

1: Clean the razor and hands, and wash your face (especially the beard area) thoroughly.

1: Apply some warm water on your face to open your pores and soften your beard. Apply shaving foam or shaving cream to the area you want to shave, wait for 2 to 3 minutes, and then start shaving.

1: Shaving usually starts from the upper cheeks on both sides, then the beard on the upper lip, and then the corners of the face. The general principle is to start from the sparsest part of the beard and leave the thickest part last. Because the shaving cream stays longer, the roots of the beard can be further softened.

1: Rinse with warm water after shaving, and gently pat the shaved area dry with a dry towel. Do not rub it hard.

1: The skin after shaving is somewhat injured, so don't rub it. Still insist on patting your face with cold water at the end, and then use aftershave or toner, astringent, aftershave honey and other aftershave care products.

1: Remember to rinse the knife thoroughly and place it in a ventilated place to dry. To avoid bacterial growth, the blade should be replaced regularly. After rinsing with water, you can also soak it in 75-degree alcohol.

If you shave too hard and your face bleeds, don't panic. You should stay calm and apply hemostatic ointment immediately. You can also press the wound firmly with a small piece of clean cotton or paper towel for 2 minutes. Then, dip a clean paper in a few drops of water, gently stick it on the wound, and then slowly peel off the cotton or paper towel.
