Take a hot bath, or wash your face with warm water before shaving. This will let you open the pores and allow easy shaving.

Step 2
Wet your face and apply an appropiate amount of shaving cream. Massage your face with the cream for a minute. Thiss tpe will let the cream do its job.
-
Step 3
Start shaving following the direction of your hair. Pass the blade for a maximum of three times on the same zone. (That's why it's good to replace your blade often). The speed should be moderate. Not too fast, and not too slow.

Step 4
If you want a really close shave pass the balde JUST ONE TIME on the opposite direction of the hair.

Step 5
Clean your face of remains of shaving cream. Then apply after shave (non alcohol based) and let it dry.

Step 6
Finally, apply moisturizer in order to restore natural moisture of the skin.
