 Recommendations: Remington Microscreen (electric) and Gillette Mach3 (blade), which lasts for several weeks. Also recommended: Afta Pre-Electric Shave Lotion and, after shaving, aloe vera gel or Jergens Lotion, if skin is irritated.
I use a blade razor now. For shaving cream, I add a dollop or two of moisturizing skin lotion, such as Baby Magic Baby Lotion or Rite Aid Gentle Moisturizing Lotion, to Gillette Complete Multi-Glide Shave Gel (blue) and mix them on my face. The blade works better when a generous amount of shaving cream and moisturizing skin lotion is used. Before shaving, you should rinse your face with hot water four times, and after shaving you should rinse your face with lukewarm water, followed by cold water, to get off the shaving cream and to close the pores, thereby reducing the chance of skin irritation. Skin lotion is not needed much if you rinse your face with cold water.
Shaving with a blade razor is less irritating to the skin than using an electric shaver.
You might notice long hairs growing at the corners of the mouth. Because there are creases at the corners of the mouth, the hairs can grow in the creases. Plump out the creases with the tongue in order to cut these hairs off.
You can use the Gillette Mach3 razor inside the nostrils to cut off nose hairs, particularly inside the tip of the nose. You can also try holding your electric razor upside down and using the razor's trimmer inside the nostrils. |
