Before shaving, gently clean your face with soap or a facial scrub. Use warm water. This step can be done in the shower or in your bathroom sink.. Using warm to hot water helps to open your pores.
Use a new razor blade, lather the entire area to be shaved with some shaving cream or gel. Let the shaving cream or gel sit on your beard for a minute this will increase the softness of the facial hair this will reduce the skin irritation.
Shave upward when your facial hair is growing downward in short, deliberate strokes. Shaving '''against''' the grain with a used razor increases your chances of irritation, causing black heads. Long strokes often cause one to press down too hard on the skin, increasing razor burn.
Rinse your blade out with water after each stroke. Rinse your blade under hot water before you begin to shave again. This removes the shaving cream, and facial hair.
For a close shave, use your other hand to pull skintight. Rub around extra shaving cream around the same area then shave that area again.
Wash your face well in cold water to remove all traces of shaving cream or foam. This helps close pores and stops any razor burn or skin irritation.
