Learn how to shave at Dads Club. You’ll be shaving for a long time, so why not learn some tips and spend 2 minutes here reading about how one can master the art of shaving.

Tip 1: How to prepare
Wash your face thoroughly before shaving. This will prevent infections in case of nicks.
You may want to exfoliate using a rough exfoliating cream. This will better prepare your skin and beard for shaving.
Tip 2: How to soften the beard, (chest, pubic hair)
Soak a facecloth in warm water, and hold it to your beard for 30 seconds. This will help soften and loosen the hair and skin.
Tip 3: How to apply shaving cream
Release a ball of shaving cream onto your palm, and apply it evenly over your beard and neck in upward circular motions, making sure to uniformly cover all sections that you wish to shave uniformly.
Make sure to use an unused or relatively new razor for the closest and least painful shave.
Tip 4: How to Shave the top section of your beard
For the top section of your beard, shave from the top of the beard to the edge of your jaw-line in long, even strokes.
Tip 5: How to shave your neck and chin
To shave under your chin and your neck, shave from the bottom of your neck upwards (with the grain) to prevent razor burn and ingrown hairs.
Tip 6: How to get a closer shave
You may wish to pull your skin taut with your free hand for a closer shave.
Tip 7: Shaving your upper lip
To shave your upper lip, stretch it over your front teeth to tighten the skin, and shave downwards.
Tip 8: How to rinse your razor
Rinse your razor after each stroke to keep it from becoming clogged up with hair.
Tip 9: How to manage those touch ups
Wash off excess shaving cream with warm water, and look for sections of beard you may have missed.
Wet your razor to shave these remaining sections.
Tip 10: How to moisturise
After shaving, use a toner (preferably containing vitamins, aloe extract etc). rather than an alcohol-based aftershave. Alcohol will dry out your skin, and possibly cause damage.
Apply moisturiser after toning to complete your shave.
