SHAVING is the removal of hair from the skin. Relating to men, it could be a man's head, face ( cheek or chin), beards, armpit, pubic hair, chest, legs, where else? Lols. Interestingly, shaving can be done at home with just a razor, soap, water, shaving foam or gel or even an electric razor. With these, you are good to have a clean shave.

However, what should men know about shaving? Many have been shaving for long. But what shaving tips can be offered to enhance a clean and better after shave? Find out.

WHAT MEN NEED TO KNOW ABOUT SHAVING

1.Do not rush. Be ready to spend time shaving. You can prepare your face. How? Apply a facial cleanser to soften your hair protein, leave it on your face if only for a minute before rinsing. Apply shaving cream or gel and allow for one more minute or more

2.Use brush to apply your shaving gel. Do not use your hand.

3.Use sharp blades.

4.Change your blades weekly, at most bi-weekly

5.Moist your hair with water, it keeps the hair soft.

6.Do not pull too hard on your face. Better to go over it a second time than to put pressure and cut your skin.

7.Follow the grain of your hair. I mean, do not shave upward, it can cause rashes, pull downwards, gently. Be careful how you shave, else you could get folliculitis, a bacterial infection following a shave.

8.Rinse after shaving with cold water. This will reduce inflammation.

9.Follow a shave with face lotion or moisturizer of your choice.

10.You can also apply sunscreening lotion to protect you from the effect of the sun.

SHOULD A MAN SHAVE THE ARMPIT?
It depends on you. if you feel comfortable with having grown armpit hairs exposed, don't take my advice then. But
for what its worth, it is a hygienic thing to do. Having a clean under arm, whether male or female can be really attractive and neat. There will be no room for sweat- based bacteria to multiply and more so, sweat patches on your fabrics will be less pronounced with a smooth and clean armpit.
