Use Quality Razor
Wet Your Beard
Thoroughly
Always use a good quality, sharp razor
blade. A dull blade is harmful to the skin
and is an underlying factor to razor burn
and shaving rash. Make sure your razor
is up to date. When shaving, always
make sure to shave with the grain.
Start with the sides, then the
mustache area, and last the chin. The
chin hairs are the toughest, so this
allows them the most time to soften
under the shaving cream. Rinse your
blade under hot water before you
begin to shave and after every few
passes.
Hair absorbs water, especially warm
water. After several minutes your
hair becomes weaker, which is
better for shaving. Showering
before shaving is the best way to
ensure your beard is properly
moistened. This will also help
your razor blade last longer. If a
shower is not possible, rinse
your face, then apply a warm
moistened towel for at least a
couple of minutes.
Use Shaving Cream
The main purpose of shaving cream is
to lubricate your face so that the razor
will glide easily and smoothly. The best
scenario is to leave the shaving cream on
your face for at least a minute before you
begin cutting, so that the beard is as soft as
possible. We recommend using a shaving brush,
because it helps create a rich, creamy lather with the
shaving cream that stays close to the skin. It also
exfoliates, which reduces the chance of blemishes and
razor bumps. Apply the shaving cream in a circular
motion ending in an upward stroke to help lift the hair up
and away from the face.

Dry and Soothe
After Shaving
Once finished, when the skin is most
vulnerable, rinse the face with warm water
and apply HD Clear ® to cleanse the pores. After,
pat dry with a clean towel. Make sure not to rub,
just pat.
Finish Off with Aftershave Lotion
Due to the irritating nature of shaving, it is important to
always follow up with an aftershave lotion. The ingredients in
Razor Relief Serum are great for most skin types. It is
important to find an aftershave that works with you.
Experiment with dōTERRA essential oils to find your
own serum.
