Anyone who knows me well, knows that I rarely shave my face. Aside from the fact that I look like a 15 year old without any stubble, the clean face is not worth the irritation I get from shaving. I know a lot of men feel this way. Here is a solution, the Modern Gent’s Shave Kit from The Body Shop. The kit features: Maca Root Shave Cream, Razor Relief and a badger brush. The maca root shave cream is rich and thick with a fresh modern scent. It takes just a dab with your brush to become a rich lather. Be sure to use the brush. I am always amazed that some men shave with out the brush – it helps to lift the hairs and in turn give you a closer shave. The shave relief soothes and never stings.
Follow the best practices below and you will love the close shave results.
- Prep face with hot water soaked towel -as hot as tolerable. Leave on for 15-30 seconds. This will soften the hairs.
- Apply Maca Root shaving cream with Silver Tip Badger brush. It should lather nicely. This will raise the hair.
- Change faucet water so that it is cool-to-cold (NOT hot!).
- Shave as you normally do, rinsing blade after every 1-3 strokes as needed.
- Finish with the Shave Relief.
