So I thought what better way to finish our Men Shaving Series by talking about Special Occasion Shaving!!
Let's look at some of the guys who do it so well.....
Now I'm not a fan of a beard, much prefer a freshly shaved face, maybe slight bit of stubble peaking through like Mr Cooper here. We've looked at what to do leading up to a shave, during and after a shave but I've been reading about the actual technique to shaving, maybe when you've got a bit more time or want to put in a bit more effort like an awards evening, but if your not going to one of them anytime soon maybe a wedding or a black tie event you may have been invited to.
One tip that I thought was interesting was to Double Shave.
Start by using whatever shaving foam or cream you use, lather over the whole area, then, taking a new blade lightly shave with the grain, don't concentrate on removing all the hair, just a top layer. Then reapply another layer of your shaving foam this time apply more pressure and shave against the grain, this will give you a closer shave and better results.
What happens when your going out and you cut yourself shaving, your about to put on a crisp white shirt so you really can't afford to be bleeding and tissue stuck to your face isn't really an option.
There's a couple of things on the market at the moment designed for that very thing, only problem is they are mostly in America, but you can buy one or two from eBay or Amazon. One of those products is -
As you can see it has been especially designed to stop bleeding fast and soothe the skin afterwards.
If you need a solution right now here are some of the at home remedies you can try...
Lip Balm - Helps seal the wound and allows a clot to form
Anti-perspirant - Dab a bit on cut it will act as an astringent to bind cut
Let me know if any of these tips work for you.
