How Do You Shave With An Electric Shaver?
• Make sure you have a smooth screen and a sharp blade. It is recommended that you replace these at least once a year, or you will fail to get a good shave, and may end up irritating your skin. • Wash your face. This will help soften your beard and thus make it easier to get a clean shave. • Wash the places you are going to shave with warm water. • Wet a washcloth with hot water. Hold it to your beard/stubble for a few minutes. • Dry your face and dust your beard/stubble with talcum powder • Use an alcohol based pre-shave. This can be used instead of step two. It will remove oils on your skin, and make your facial hair stand straight up. A powder version can be used if you find alcohol to be an irritant. Find the grain of your whiskers. Do this by rubbing the places where your facial hair grows. One direction will feel smooth. This direction is “with the grain.” This other direction will give resistance when you rub it. This is “against the grain” • Use one hand to pull your skin tight
