3 steps to get a nice close shave

This is a very basic 3-steps approach to get a nice close shave.

This is not rocket science and might come in handy if you have never shaved before.

1. Wet your face with a warm cloth towel to exfoliate the pores, and then apply some shaving oil, shaving cream or shaving soap around the fuzzy areas.
2. Using a relatively new disposable razor for shaving, run the blade along the hairy spots (cheeks, chin, neck, upper lip and so forth), going -with- the grain as you continue your shave.  Be sure to rinse the blade periodically to make sure it doesn't clog.
3. Use a moisturizer (after-shave balm) to help soothe the skin and ensure it has that nice soft feeling.

Like said, shaving is not complicated. You only need the right products.

Enjoy your shavin'

Proper Skin Care by Shaving

Shaving. It is something most people do on a weekly basis (sometimes daily).  But is there more to shaving then just looking great and having smooth skin?

Most people do not realize that shaving has a lot of benefits to the skin and body. Women and men alike shave to look professional and obtain, soft smooth skin. Men typically shave facial hair as to have a clean look, obtain soft smooth skin, and impress women. Women shave their legs to have that pretty women look and also to have clean, smooth, soft skin. But shaving does more then just making men and women look professional.  It proves to benefit the skin in many ways.

First off, shaving helps to keep the skin clean and free from dirt and debris. Every time you shave you are actually removing dead skin cells off the surface of the skin. This helps to create that baby smooth feeling one gets after shaving. Not only does it give you that silky smooth feeling, it also helps to keep skin looking younger and fresh. By constantly removing dead skin and dirt, shaving opens the pores and allows the skin to stay wrinkle free longer.

Shaving can, however, have many side effects if done improperly. Improper shaving can lead to minor cuts, itchiness, and razor burn. It is import to use proper shaving products when shaving (oil, soap or cream). These shaving oil, creams and soaps are designed to keep the side effects down to a minimum. They do this by slightly numbing the skin and allowing it to stay moist the entire time you shave.  But even the most experienced person using proper oil, soaps and creams can encounter a minor cut if they are not paying full attention while shaving.

It is also important to remember that shaving is not just limited to facial and leg hair. Shaving can be done to any part of the body that has hair. Sometimes shaving can be a religious statement or even a fashion trend. No matter where you shave, the benefits can be seen. Great, smooth silky skin is not only a great feeling for you, but for your body and the people around you as well.

Do you know what skin type you have? Discover it with a little help from Raz*War.

 There are various skin types. Raz*War will introduce you to the 4 more common ones among men: oily, combination/normal, sensitive and dry.

Raz*War did not invent them; It is a basic and worldwide classification. 

To identify which one is yours, do the test.

• Simply wash your face.
• Rinse it until it is clean and really dry
• Wait around 1 hour (do not do that before going to work but preferably on a weekend or when you go home at the end of the day). 
• After that check your chin, center of cheeks, outer cheeks, center of forehead, outer forehead and nose, look for oily residuals. 
• Last step is to try to identify which skin you have regarding which part are oily. 

Your skin type is defined by the quantity of oil it produces. 

Type 1: Oily
Here you will have the impression to be “shining” all around your cheeks, nose, forehead an chin. The pores of an oily skin are enlarged. This type of skin can be difficult to handle and can be more likely to have some acne and blackheads. 

Men with oily skin can be happy because their skin will tend to be less wrinkled over the years !

Type 2: Combination/normal
This type of skin is the easiest to care and to daily protect. It will go toward dryness on the cheeks while being oily in the “T-zone”, meaning  forehead, nose and chin. Here the size of the pores are medium and the texture is not so greasy but softer. 

Men with normal skin are the luckiest.

Type 3: Sensitive
In this sensitive type we could have guess that the pores are really fine, the skin is really thin and can be really delicate. This skin type will easily develop redness and it can be irritated really fast. This skin type will need a daily special care. 

Men who have this kind of skin will directly know it because they use the same products since a lot of years and they fight every morning against the shaving or environmental aggressions.

Type 4: Dry
The dry skin can also tend to become easily irritated and the pores are also really fine. The skin will tend to be tight each time the faces moves.
You will see appear in some areas white skin zones, these areas will appear if nothing is done to moisturize the skin.  
When you have this kind of skin you will need to avoid really hot water because it will tend to dry it even more.

I hope these small explanations helped you find which type skin you have.
In a future post we will explain which Raz*War products to use in function of your skin type.

Until next time,
Marina
