Gone are the days when our forefathers scraped oversized hunting knives over their bare skin, lubricated only
by sweat and the tears of their enemies. Finding a good
way to soften and prepare your skin before subjecting it
to the business end of your blade, can be the difference
between a silky smooth shave and looking like you should
be admitted for third degree burns.

We know that the weapon of choice when it comes to your beard-be-gone endeavours might be a
very personal matter. So let us be the first to say that if you’ve found something that works, feel free
to stick with it.
On the disposable front, choose a product that has at least three to five rows of blades. When opting
for permanent fixed-blade razors, make sure you get the brand whose refill blades will always be
locally available.
When going electric on your face, save up for something that not only delivers a tug-free ride, but can
also handle both wet and dry conditions. Just don’t leave them lying around the bathroom - lady shaving
is a great way to ruin a good electric shaver.

Once you’ve prepped and shaved in all the proper ways, your skin
is in desperate need for some TLC. Although you might be tempted to slap some form of sweet smelling substance on, rather opt for
calming balms with active healing ingredients like aloe, vitamin E and
anti-UV elements. This will make sure that your skin not only feels
amazing for the rest of the day, but might also keep your face from
leathering up before you hit the big four-o. [MvP]
