What is the best way to shave my face without getting itchy bumps?" "And what's better-- a razor or an electric?" Shaving. We all have to do it. But gone are the days when Dear Ol' Dad would march us down to the neighborhood barbershop for a good close one and a how-to. Most guys like us have to figure it out as we go along. We went to the experts-- professional barbers-- to get their advice on how to get a really great, close shave without razor bumps. Here it is: 1. The key to a great shave is preparation. You must prepare your face first. 2. Preparation starts with cleaning the face. Why? If your face is dirty, then when you shave you increase the chances of infection. The bacteria gets into the cuts. 3. Open the pores. The hair follicles, think of them like a shovel stuck in sand on the beach. You need to loosen the spikes up before you pull them out. To open up your pores, wash the face with warm, then warmer water. You can if you have time, apply a hot towel to your face or shave right after you get out of the shower. 4. While the pores are nice and open, apply a good thick cream. It's best to apply it warm too. You can warm it up by heating up a cup of water in the microwave (2 minutes), then put a piece of thin cloth over the hot cup. Squirt the cream on top of the cloth for about 10 seconds to warm it up. 5. Apply the cream to your warm face. 6. Then, and only then, start to shave. 7. The above applies if you use commercial shave cream. If you want to use a brush, you don't work up a lather in your hand. You work up the lather in a little bowl with your badger hair brush. You heat the brush first by leaving it in a cup or bowl of hot water while you prepare your face as we went over earlier. Why badger hair? It's soft, it holds water more easily than other hairs. You don't have to spend a fortune on badger hair brushes. We found one for $10 at http://www.beautyrose.com/twdeshbrform. Some guys also forgo badger altogether and use boar bristles. These work but they're not as good as badger. Related: Acne-Natural Remedies That Work Anti sebum-Top 5 Herbs and Creams Register Now-It's free, fast and easy.
