We know that many of our customers are seriously looking for the perfect shave. Below are the experiences and shaving tips from one of our good customers.
The test concerns the 3-blade and 5-blade cartridge razors from Raz*War. Of course, the right preparation is important: lather your skin well with water, shaving brush, and shaving soap, and shave as much as possible in the direction of hair growth. After shaving, you can lather up again and shave against the grain.
Shaving with the cartridge razor
Shaving in the direction of hair growth is key: it will significantly improve your shaving comfort, prevent irritations, and reduce the risk of razor bumps and ingrown hairs. With the help of the 5 blades, you can achieve the "Baby Butt" shaving level.
Start at the sideburns and follow the line of your face down to your chin (see drawing). Shave with long and smooth movements. If you have prepared your skin well, one pass is usually sufficient. You will notice that the better your skin is prepared, the quieter the shave will be: the blades make hardly any scraping noise.
After the cheeks, you start shaving your neck. Shaving the neck is more difficult. This area is more sensitive to razor bumps and ingrown hairs. Here too, you should shave in the direction of hair growth. Therefore, you should move the razor down from the chin and jawline. One pass is usually sufficient. If it's not smooth enough, shave again. Don't forget to apply shaving foam again.
After you are done with the neck, it's time to start on the chin. Most men have the toughest beard hairs here. The direction of hair growth is different for everyone. The best is to shave from left to right or vice versa. Avoid too many passes of the razor. And then shave the area directly under the lower lip.
Not satisfied with the smoothness of the chin? Lather up again, stretch the skin with one hand from the chin towards the ears, and go over it with the razor once more.
Finally, it's time for the mustache area. First, shave from top to bottom. The corners of the lips are tricky. Tip: place your tongue at the side of your lip and "push" your skin outward. By pushing with your tongue, you create the right "curve" for the skin and ensure that the razor can shave more efficiently.
