I use a blade razor now. It is less irritating than an electric razor. For shaving cream, I put baby lotion, such as Gerber's (my favorite) or Johnson's or Baby Magic, on my face first and then add the shaving cream. The blade works better when generous amounts of shaving cream and baby lotion are 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.
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 reach these hairs with the razor. Other often-missed areas are under the nostrils and along the edges of the lips, especially at the sides of the mouth. |
