Prepare the Face for Shaving

Preparing your skin and stubble prior to shaving is crucial for a smooth clean shave and to prevent ingrown hairs, blotches, rash and itchy lumps. This can be achieved by softening the beard and whiskers so the blade will slice through as easily as possible, and by removing any dirt, oil, and dead skin that will make the razor drag causing irritation, redness, bumps and in growing hairs.
