1. Make Sure Your Facial Hair is Wet
This is the most important step. The best way to ensure that your beard is sufficiently wet is to take a shower right before shaving. If you don't have time for a shower, then wash your face or hold a towel soaked with warm water against your face for at least 3 minutes. Shaving with a dry face will cause razor burn and rash. When hair is wet is becomes easier to cut.
2. Use Shaving cream
Use a moisturizing shaving cream. Don't use one of the cheaper shaving creams as this will irritate the skin. Remember, the skin on your face is sensitive! Shaving creams will lubricate the face for a better shave. They also lock in moisture for great skin and reduce cuts and razor rash.
3. Shave Properly
First shave in the direction of the beard growth. Then if you want a closer shave, you can shave against the growth of the hair. Always rinse the blade with hot water after each pass to clean the blade of all hair. Then shake the razor to remove any excess water on the blade. Use a sharp razor and change the blade often. (about once a week). Leave the razor in a glass of alcohol when not in use to disinfect the razor and prevent the growth of bacteria.
