Ways for an all-around perfect wet shave

It is well-known that the majority of men are wet shavers. But altough a wet shave is often preferred to a dry shave, skin irritation, cuts, pimples and redness occur on the skin.
The skin is irritated and aches, instead of feeling its babysoft smoothness . What are the reasons and how can these side effects be avoided?

When shaving, micro-injuries occur on the skin. Because our skin is most flexible in the morning, the risk that cuts occur is significantly reduced. Therefore, it is advisable to shave mornings. Dull blades make it quite difficult to shave and this results in skin irritations. The blade should be replaced when first signs of abrasion occur.

Before shaving, the skin should be cleared especially of fat and dirt. Therefore, the face should firstly be washed for 3 min. under warm water. Thus, the pores open and the face can be cleaned. Now a suitable shaving gel has to be applied. Those people, who have a sensible skin should use a colour- and odourless agent.

To inhibit skin irritation, it is advisable to shave carefully in the direction of hair growth. Ideally, the shaving blade is rinsed several times with lukewarm water to remove deposits on the blade.

After shaving it is recommended to wash the face with cold water and to towel after. The pores which were opened are now being closed. A fast recovery of the skin is possible. Now the after-shave care follows: This is especially important as the skin has to compensate its dryness which is the result of the wet shave. The skin automatically augments the sebum production and pimples appear. This can for example be prohibit with an after shave such as the Body&Skin© Alum Stone.

Since centuries alum stone has been known for its positive properties: On one hand, it disinfects the skin and is ideal for the inhibition of pimple. On the other hand it has hemostatic characteristics and therefore closes cuts caused during wet shaving.
