Solving Shaving Challanges Does your morning shave feature more bleeding than a Red Cross Blood Drive? Does it leave your face feeling hotter than a stereo at a pawnshop? If you can relate to the discomfort above, you must read the text below. Do so and you’ll find solutions for some of the most common shaving challenges.

The Challenge: Nicks & Cuts
The Solutions:
- Spend more time warming your skin before shaving. Shave right after a hot shower
  and make sure to splash some warm H2O on your mug throughout the process.
- Prior to shave gel or cream, apply a pre-shave oil. This will help your facial hairs
  stand at attention and also give your razor some extra “slip.”

The Challenge: Razor Bumps
The Solutions:
- Shaving with the grain of hair growth can often prevent these. But note, your facial
  hair doesn’t always grow straight down.
- Use an exfoliator or face scrub twice a week to remove dead skin cells and to uproot
  ingrown hairs (which lead to razor bumps).
- Apply a targeted ingrown hair solution. Remember, ingrown hairs often lead to razor bumps.

The Challenge: Razor Burn
The Solutions:
- Prior to shave gel or cream, apply a pre-shave oil. This will help your facial hairs stand at
  attention and also give your razor some extra “slip.”
- Make sure not to press to hard with your razor.
- Always use a fresh, sharp blade.
- After shaving, apply a super-hydrating aftershave. Avoid anything with alcohol.

The Challenge: Missed Shaving Spots
The Solutions:
- Instead of using a shaving cream, try a see-through shaving gel. Being translucent,
  these products will allow you to see exactly what you are and aren’t shaving.

The Challenge: Ultra-Sensitive Skin
The Solutions:
- Follow the Grooming Lounge’s Guide To A Great Wet Shave.
- Make sure to stay loyal to a solid daily skincare regimen. Doing this will have a
  positive effect on your daily shave.
- Don’t rub your face with a towel pre or post shave. Instead, get in touch with
  your feminine side and pat your skin.
