Four or so, measures for a shave (part 1) Step 1 and 2: Prepare and apply the foam
1. Preparation
One of the most important aspects is the shaving preparation. Our beard grow only stubbornly for the sole purpose of shaving. I am sure that the anthropologist can provide additional information on which we have a beard and its purpose. However, the scope of this discussion lets just agree that our beards need special treatment to get a baby-butt shave. Most people accept the shaving oil is a very good preparation. I personally have seen a great improvement in my shave when I use shaving oil, but not just oil. There are some other products out there, like Proraso and Prep-Italy creams pre or post- Taylor of Bond Street Pre-shave gel, just to name a few. Also, if you are a miser, a regular, bold face and body cream will do. Vaseline creams worked very well for me until I discovered they are "heavy" for gasoline and does not contribute to my future of health in the long term. 2. Apply the foam on your face
Some people write novels about how to get a good lather and good way of putting it on your face. More confidence in my people and I'm sure you will understand yourself. Just a few simple rules:
a) If the foam is too thin you've added too much water or if you have any cream or soap shit.
b) If you use a gel or cream box, you do not know what you want or what is to shave.
c) If the foam is too thick, do not worry. There is no such thing as too thick a foam. You are beautiful.
d) You can create the foam in a shaving mug or directly on your face. For my part, I prefer the cup.
e) If you use a cream brushless (ie Nancy Boy, or The Art of Shaving) does not attempt to create the foam in a cup. Chances are you will fail. Instead apply the cream on your face and work with a brush. This way you can trick you into believing these creams brews.
