I know sometimes some of us have to deal with itchiness, redness and other kinds of irritation after shaving and it can be so uncomfortable. Because of this reason, some people have invested in waxing and laser hair removal which is totally cool if you can handle it. People still opt for shaving sticks because it’s most suitable for them.

Using razor can bring up shaving irritation like shaving rash which shows up as redness, itching, hot sensation e.t.c and shaving bump which is caused by ingrown hairs. Here are some tips for a better shaving experience.

• 

1• Exfoliate

Exfoliating your skin before shaving reduces the chances of rashes. An exfoliant removes dead skin cells and helps prevent ingrown hairs.

• 

2• Use a clean sharp razor

A sharp razor makes a good shave as it deals with all textures of hair. Men’s razor is actually preferred for shaving as it’s designed to cut coarse hair. After shaving, don’t leave your razor in the shower because moisture makes the blade blunt and could it could lead to corrosion.

• 

3• Use a shaving gel

Shaving gels acts as a lubricant between your skin and the blade. If a shaving gel is unavailable, your hair conditioner is a perfect product to use in place of it. Moisturizing with natural oils like olive, coconut, almond oil can be as effective as shaving gels as they’re both hydrating agents.

• 

4• Proceed with short strokes

Going on with short strokes in the direction of which your hair grows will help avoid getting cuts. No matter how much of a pro you are, you need to be cautious.

• 

5• Rinse razor after each stroke

Trimming your pubic hair before shaving avoids getting your razor clogged up with hair and a clogged razor is totally ineffective. After rinsing your razor, ensure it’s properly dried before you continue to use it.

• 

6• Shave at the end of your bath

This allows your hair follicles to get softened and reduces the risk of having an irritation.
