Von Sander - The Beardmen Your beard expresses your personal style. It adds dimension to your face, provided you shave your beard in the right way. This means not only wearing a beard style that best suits your face, but also maintaining it in the best possible way. A few tips are worth their weight in gold in this regard. I am Sander, a.k.a. The Beard Man, and I am listing the 5 shaving tips for men in a nutshell.
1. Choose the right equipment
A baker is nowhere without his oven and a carpenter is nowhere without quality tools. The same goes for the man who wants to shave his beard: he too needs the right equipment. Because no one has the same beard growth, it is impossible to pinpoint a device that is number one for everyone.
Shavers can differ from each other in a few ways. The main distinction is between rotary and vibrating blades.
Look around in UK online stores and your local supermarket for the best shavers in Britain.
2. Wet your skin with lukewarm water beforehand
Shaving can be a drain on your skin. This is even more true for tough beard hair. Fortunately, the stiffness can be easily dealt with by exposing the hair to water, lukewarm water to be precise.
Lukewarm water is the same as regular water. By this I do not mean a quick splash of water in the face, because that is not enough to achieve the desired effect. Your beard hair should be in contact with water for at least 2 minutes. A shower is the easiest solution for this.
3. Use a beard oil or aftershave after shaving
Shaving impacts your skin’s natural protective barrier. It is important to restore it after shaving. You can do this by using beard oil or an unscented aftershave.
Your skin will stay well hydrated. You can feel and see that: no red bumps and no burning, tight feeling!
4. Maintain proper hygiene
Because shaving affects the protective skin barrier, even when using the best possible device for you, it is important to be hygienic. First and foremost, that means having a clean beard.
By combing it thoroughly, you will remove dust and other particles left behind. In addition, make sure you wash your hands and use a clean towel. Also make sure you clean your razor regularly.
5. Use a safety razor to trim the lines
A safety razor is a razor with an interchangeable, single blade. You may know it by the name scraper. The blade is extremely sharp, but because it lies between a top and base plate, you don’t have to worry about cuts while shaving. A safety razor works easily and smoothly and gives a sleek result.
It is ideal for trimming the lines of your beard. When you smooth your skin and place the razor at a 30-degree angle to your skin, you get the best effect.
