Life is not always like a bed of roses – sometimes things that are soft and gentle can end up prickly and irritable, much like a poorly shaved face. But knowing how to do things properly can mean drastically different results to doing it poorly. Shaving your facial hair is one of those things. But how do you shave your face properly? Follow these tips to find the best way to shave your beard and prevent those prickly patches and red spots after your morning shave.

1. Be prepared 

Battling a dead battery in the morning is a recipe for a bad day, so avoid this by leaving your razor to charge the night before your morning shave. Thankfully, some electric razors have a short charging time, so you may have some luck with a spare hour in the morning. Wet shaving? All you need is some good quality blades and foam, easy enough. Wash your face and rinse it properly so that it is nice and clean. Shaving after a hot shower can help a great deal, because the heat will help open your pores. However, the heat may also make your face puffy and sweaty, so have a little break between your shower and shaving your facial hair.

2. Be choosy  

What is the best way to shave your beard? Is a wet shave the best shaving method, or maybe dry? Only you can decide what is the best shaving method for your face. A dry shave is done in no time. That said, a wet shave is wonderfully refreshing and can give a more thorough shave, but make sure to use a good quality shaving foam. 

3. Be clever

A perfect shave needs one thing first and foremost: a good razor. Depending on the length of the facial hair, a shaver with trimmer attachment or a separate beard trimmer is recommended. With a razor like the OneBlade, you can achieve a particularly smooth and gentle shave very quickly. Its blades are fast-moving and super precise for a shave that easily follows the contours of your face. Its three stubble combs give you multiple choices for trimming your moustache or beard to the length you want.
