FAQ About Dad-less Wisdom

Preparation is Key:

• Start by washing your face with a gentle cleanser to remove any dirt or oils.
• Use warm water to soften the hair and open up the pores. Consider shaving after a shower for the best results.

Choose the Right Razor:

• Use a sharp, clean razor. Dull blades can cause nicks and irritation.
• Consider using a safety razor or a quality multi-blade razor for a smoother shave.

Apply Shaving Cream:

• Use a good quality shaving cream or gel to create a protective barrier between the razor and your skin.
• Allow the shaving cream to sit on your face for a minute to further soften the hair.

Shave in the Right Direction:

• Always shave in the direction of hair growth to reduce irritation and minimize the risk of cuts.
• For most people, this means shaving downward on the cheeks and with the grain on the neck.

Stretch the Skin:

• Pull your skin taut with your free hand to create a smooth surface for the razor to glide across.
• Avoid applying too much pressure; let the razor do the work.

Take Your Time:

• Rushing through the shaving process increases the likelihood of accidents. Be patient and deliberate in your movements.

Check Your Technique:

• Use short, controlled strokes rather than long, sweeping motions.
• Pay extra attention to sensitive areas, such as the jawline and neck.

Post-Shave Care:

• Rinse your face with cold water to close the pores and soothe the skin.
• Apply an alcohol-free, moisturizing aftershave to hydrate and calm the skin.

Regular Maintenance:

• Keep your razor clean and replace blades as needed.
• Shave regularly to prevent long, difficult-to-cut hair.
