Before
- Warm water first to soften hair and skin.
- A gel or cream so the blade glides.
- A sharp, clean blade. Dull blades drag and irritate.
During
- Short, light strokes; don't press.
- Gently flatten skin where it folds.
- Rinse the blade often.
- Stop if it stings or turns red.
After
- Rinse with cool water, pat dry.
- Use a fragrance-free moisturiser.
- Don't share razors.
- Give irritated skin a rest.
Personal grooming areas
Same rules, more care: a trimmer with a guard is gentler than a razor, go slowly, and never shave broken or irritated skin. Seeing clearly what you're doing is a big part of avoiding mistakes, which is the idea behind Shave View.
General grooming tips, not medical advice. If you have a skin condition, a mole that changes, or irritation that doesn’t settle, see a doctor or pharmacist.
