Shaving Tips for men to get the best shave

•It's best to avoid shaving the very first thing in the morning. If possible, let your skin wake up a while. This allows the "puffiness" you encounter from fluids collecting in your skin during the night to recede, thus allowing you to get a closer shave when you do begin the task.
•Use an exfoliate such as a facial cleanser or scrub to eradicate dead skin cells and open up the pores of the skin to prepare it for a close shave.
•Stubble should be wetted with warm or hot water before shaving. This swells the hair shaft allowing the blade to cut the hair, not your skin.
•Thoroughly massage shave cream into stubble. A vitamin and Aloe Vera based shave cream will provide a close soothing shave and protect against razor rashes and burns.
•Use a sharp blade. A dull blade is responsible for many shaving cuts as it drags over your face and catches your skin along with the hairs of your beard.
•Rinse the blade often in hot water when shaving and use slow short strokes. Take your time.
•Shaving with grain means shaving in the direction of how the hair grows on your face. It is always best to shave this way. Shaving against the grain can cause redness, rashes, razor burn and ingrown hairs, which are all painful.
HINT: Pulling the skin taut with your free hand and shave over this tight area. This makes the whiskers pull away from your skin, making it easier for the razor to grasp them.

SHAVE CREAM


AFTER SHAVING TIPS
•Finish by rinsing off with cool water. It will close the skin pores.
•For cuts, use a moistened alum block to stop the bleeding.
•Apply a moisturizing aftershave lotion on the shaved areas. Avoid alcohol-based aftershaves lotions as they tend to dry the skin.
•In the last, use a moisturizer over the face and neck to keep the skin firm and supple. Or apply an after shave cream such as this one REJUVENATE. Anti aging face cream to keep your skin moist and fresh with UV protection.
You can get yourself a Zirh Shave Kit for $49. Zirh really delivers high quality grooming products for men. That is why its been used by celebrities like Tom Cruise, Justin Timber lake and many more...

The above shaving tips will give you a perfect shave. Look your best, all the time.

A few warnings:
•People with sensitive skin may wish to avoid shaving for the same reasons. Again, if you chose to shave, consider shaving cream made for sensitive skin and use a hypoallergenic moisturizer afterwards.
•Consider closely trimming your hair instead. It provides many of the benefits of shaving without all the risks!
•Shave after your shower. Your face is easier to shave when your stubble is softened by soap, hot water and residual shampoo and conditioner.
•Don't use hot water to rinse off your blades when you are shaving. Heat makes metal expand and warp. Use Cold water and your blades will contract a bit making the blade tighter and sharper.

Beauty and Grooming Tips for Men

A man should be stylish and elegant in his dressing. Besides being intelligent and professionally smart a 21st century man has to look physically smart too. If you look good, you feel good and confident. Confidence leads to success. Thus the first step to success is presenting an image that is cultivated, well-maintained and carefully groomed to look naturally handsome.Some of these beauty and grooming tips are basic, while others go beyond a simple hair cut. Choose what's right for you and pamper yourself.

Protect and Pamper Your Skin
The best way to prevent wrinkles and skin cancer is to protect your skin from sun damage by using a daily moisturizer with sunscreen.
A good daily skin care routine includes cleansing, followed by a gentle facial exfoliant scrub, which also enhances shaving ease and comfort. Follow with a moisturizer containing sunscreen for day and at night a moisturizer with AHA's to encourage skin regeneration.

Go Short if You’re Balding
Balding is another common problem among men. Opting for a comb-over just dates your look. Get comfortable with your changing look and opt for a modern short haircut.

When men begin to lose the hair on their heads, they may begin to notice unwanted hair in other places, like their nose, ears or back. Be sure to trim or wax unwanted hair for a clean, contemporary look.

Grooming Tips for Men
•Trim your nose hairs regularly .
•If you wear a beard, it should be neatly trimmed. Mustaches should also be trimmed.
•If you don't iron your clothes, remove them immediately from the dryer so wrinkles don't set.
•Do not have dirty fingernails no matter what type of job you are applying for. Trim nails and scrub hands if necessary.
•Consider trimming your arm pit hairs in warm weather. Less hairs, less bacteria, less smell. Think about it.
•Good dental hygiene means a dazzling smile.
•Do wear your hair clean and styled neatly.
Extend the Life of Your Razor Blades
All you need is a bottle of mineral oil and some rubbing alcohol. After shaving, thoroughly clean and dry your razor blades and then completely immerse the razor head in a shallow dish filled with mineral oil. Use the rubbing alcohol to wash away the oil next time you need to use the razor.

By immersing the blades in oil, you stop the oxidization process that dulls their sharp edges. A daily mineral oil soak can double or even triple the life of your cartridges.

Happy grooming!
