• Add a few drops of glycerin to increase lather and moisten skin. Glycerin is a clear, odorless liquid that can be found in pharmacies. This product is often used to treat and prevent dry, itchy, and mildly irritated skin.

Start scraping. While shaving, be sure to wash your razor regularly to remove soap and bristles.

• Always shave in the direction of the hair growth. If you shave the hair in the opposite direction, the hair runs the risk of jerking off your skin and clogging the razor blade.
• Shave slowly on sensitive areas or curved surfaces such as neck, under nose, armpits, bikini area, ankles, and hamstrings.
• Multi-blade razors will help shave closer. You choose the best razor blade for your skin type.

Moisturizes the skin. After shaving, wash off the soap, dry your skin and apply moisturizer. This will help soften the skin to prevent ingrown hairs and treat itching or inflammation. advertisement

Method 2 of 2: Use oil

1. 

   Trim long hair growth. The hair on the skin is easier to shave if it is trimmed short before shaving. This way the blade won't get clogged during shaving, and you will use less product.

2. 

   Apply the oil to your skin. You need to apply a lot of oil and thoroughly onto the skin. There are many oils that you can use to shave. The oil will act as a lubricant, helping the razor blade to glide gently on the skin, while also moisturizing the skin. Here are a few oils to use:
   • Coconut oil: Coconut oil comes in liquid or solid form. Simply take the coconut oil on your fingers or palms and apply it to your skin. Coconut oil has a very good moisturizing effect, is safe and adheres to the skin, in addition has antifungal and antibacterial properties that help protect sensitive skin.
   • Olive oil: Olive oil is well known for its many health benefits. Particularly effective for the skin, olive oil plays a role in preventing skin cancer.
   • Baby oil: Baby oil is odorless and often contains aloe extract with anti-inflammatory and soothing effects on irritated skin.

   • Shave slowly on sensitive or curved areas such as neck, under nose, armpits, bikini area, ankles, and under heels.
   • Multi-blade razors will shave closer. Choose the right razor for your skin type.

4.

Advice

• Always use lotion after shaving. This step helps prevent ingrown hairs and soothes irritated skin and reduces skin inflammation.
• The options above are not as safe or effective as shaving gel or foam products.
• You can always moisturize and care for your skin before shaving to increase its protection against burning or irritation.

Warning

• Never shave your eyebrows or the skin near your eyes. You don't want the hair to grow back and forth around your brow. A razor close to the eye is also dangerous. You should pluck or remove your eyebrows instead of shaving.
• Do not dry shave. Shaving without water can burn your skin.
