A Perfect Shave
If man could buy The Perfect Shave, the lucky dude who created it would be a billionaire. The truth is, every guy has The Perfect Shave within him: Finding it is just a matter of learning a few easy tricks and knowing which products will help you get smooth, bump-free results.
Even if you’re in a mad rush, always adhere to the two most critical rules of shaving. First, use hot water: It softens and plumps up your beard, which is why it’s always best to shave during or right after a hot shower. Second, shave with the grain — otherwise, you’ll risk razor burn. If the growth pattern varies, adjust your razor accordingly.
Use the right tools. Make sure you’re using a sharp blade (and change it often). A dull blade is the number-one cause of razor burn, nicks and an uneven shave. Also, never use soap and water, which can clog razors; NIVEA FOR MEN Cooling Shave Gel is rich with lubricating emollients. Complete your shave with NIVEA FOR MEN Cooling After Shave Balm; its menthol keeps skin chilled.
