Perfect Shave Ritual
The idea is to turn this into one of your daily ritual, you are taking time for yourself, concentrating on the process of shaving, you head is supposed to be clear of other things and charge you batteries for the rest of the day … This is a very important part although it often skipped because of the rush. This can’t be done even if you have the best electric shavers in the world. So the point is as much to soften the face. If you do not shave after a bath I suggest that you take a towel for this purpose. Soak it well with hot water, drain and place on the face (as the old barbers used to do) for 2-3 minutes. This step relaxes facial skin incredibly and is very comfortable. Then continue on with shaving. I sometimes wash my face with soap before.
If the beard is very strong, the vegetable oils soften its armored layer - cuticle. They are almond oil, sesame, and jojoba. It can be applied separately, or, for example in the packaging. Their creams and lotions work well, even though I have never used them as a complete replacement for gel / foam / soap. Some people do not like the feeling of oil on the skin, although it is easily removed by applying aftershave lotion.
