What should you pay attention to when shaving your beard?

Shaving is something every man must do. Although it is a trivial matter, it hides a great mystery. We do not really understand how to shave and what kind of razor to choose. So what is the correct way to shave? What should we pay attention to when shaving? The following is a brief introduction.

Eight taboos of shaving

Taboo 1: Do not shave the same beard from different directions. This can easily lead to the beard being shaved too short and forming inverted beards, which can cause folliculitis.

Taboo 2: Don't shave the hair grain. Although shaving the hair grain will make the beard cleaner, it is easy to irritate the skin and form ingrown beards. Taboo 3: Don't shave before strenuous exercise. Because sweat will irritate the skin you just shaved and cause infection. Taboo 4: Never shave before taking a shower. The skin is not prepared for this, and you are likely to have a burning sensation after shaving and cause ingrown beards.

Taboo 5: Do not use old or even rusty blades. When the blade is not sharp enough, it should be replaced in time. Taboo 6: Do not borrow a razor from others, and do not lend your own to others. Contaminated blades can spread serious skin diseases. Taboo 7: When shaving with a razor, do not over-tense your facial muscles. This will easily shave off the hair roots on the surface of the skin. Taboo 8: When shaving with a razor, do not shave on a dry beard. If you do not keep your beard moist, those scratches and bloody pustules will take at least three or four days to heal.

How to shave hard and tough beard on a very soft skin surface is actually not an easy task. Therefore, when choosing a razor, you should pay attention to the blade. The most important thing about the razor is the blade. There are three points to pay attention to when choosing the blade: the quality of the blade, the number and density of the blade, and the angle of the blade. In terms of quality, the blade edge needs to have sufficient toughness and as little resistance as possible to ensure smooth shaving while being durable. Blades with artificial diamond coating can achieve this goal well. In terms of quantity and density, a good balance needs to be achieved. Increasing the quantity can reduce the number of re-shavings, but it may pull the skin and cause discomfort. Increasing the density can reduce pulling and friction, but too dense will cause the blades to be easily blocked and difficult to clean. Therefore, generally speaking, a combination of five blades can better coordinate this balance. In terms of angle, a good contact angle can not only make the shaving more close and smooth, but also avoid damaging the skin. Flexible and fitting blade heads and progressive blade arrangements are currently more advanced designs.

Therefore, shaving is a very delicate matter. Not only is there a correct way to shave, but even the razor is also selective. For all men, shaving is a necessity in life, so we should pay attention to this matter. Following the above method is absolutely effective and is definitely the best choice for men.
