Prepare your face by washing it with warm water to soften the hair and open up the pores. Apply a pre-shave oil or cream to lubricate the skin and hair.
Hold the razor at a 30-degree angle to your skin and use short, gentle strokes to shave with the grain of your hair. Avoid applying too much pressure, as the weight of the razor should be enough to do the job.
After the first pass, re-lather your face and repeat the process, this time shaving across the grain of the hair. This will give you a closer shave.
Finally, re-lather one more time and make a final pass against the grain of your hair. This will provide the closest shave possible, but be cautious as this step can cause irritation for sensitive skin.
Rinse your face with cold water to close the pores and apply a post-shave balm to soothe and moisturize the skin.
Always rinse your razor after each pass and shake off the excess water. Dry it before storing it away.
Keep in mind, it's important to use a sharp blade and replace it regularly, as a dull blade can cause irritation and increase the risk of cuts. Additionally, it's important to always use a shaving cream or soap to lubricate the skin and hair, and to take it easy and go slow to avoid nicks and cuts.
Please note that this is a general guide, and you should always adjust your shaving technique to suit your own skin and hair type.
