Shaving Know How – Dos and Don’ts
The simple answer is no. The experts here at King of Shaves believe a combination of the correct shaving ‘software‘ (gel, oil or serum), ‘hardware‘ (your razor, or better still, the Azor) and technique will give you a smooth, pain-free shave. Shaving is something to be enjoyed, not endured! We’ve put together a simple guide to help you achieve ‘The World’s Best Shave’ with our Prime Shave Protect PSP regime, along with some Top Tips, key Dos and Don’t and a list of FAQs. But if you require further help then please contact our Customer Care team today. So here goes…
TOP TIPS DOS & DONT’S FAQs RANGE
Don’t wash your face with soap. Soaps are usually very drying on the skin and coupled with shaving (which also can be drying), you will make your skin dry, tight and uncomfortable. To effectively (and gently) cleanse your skin, use a soap free King of Shaves Face Wash.
Don’t wash your face in cold water prior to a shave. Cold water will close your pores, making the hair harder to cut. Do wash your face and neck thoroughly in running warm / hot water prior to shaving.
Don’t apply aftershave to your face. The days of ‘splash it all over’ are long gone. Aftershave is primarily made from alcohol and alcohol, like soap, has a drying effect on your skin. To wear aftershave or a fragrance, simply apply it to the back of your neck or your wrists.
Do read the instructions. To get the full benefit of King of Shaves (or any other) shaving software, take a moment to read the all instructions on pack. With our King of Shaves products we are not asking you to forget everything you ever learned about shaving, but these are revolutionary products that work best if you use them as suggested.
Do use an exfoliator at least twice a week, but don’t use it daily – by over exfoliating, you may actually make your skin greasier as it tries to cope with the loss of moisture caused by the scrub.
Do protect your skin with a King of Shaves Men’s Moisturiser or Face Balm. Shaving can be drying on the skin so you need to help repair this. A Moisturiser or Balm should be applied as soon as possible after shaving or washing (certainly within 10 minutes of patting your skin dry).
Do use a moisturiser with a sun protection factor (SPF – like suncream) built in. Sun and wind can be very damaging on your skin so you need to protect your skin from UV rays now. SPF is not only for when you hit the beach!
