Help for Sensitive Skin

Sensitive skin and shaving burn can be a major concern when considering which shaver you choose. People that suffer from shaving burn and redness around the neck area due to shaving do so for a number of reasons.

Many younger users suffer because their skin can still be quite soft and flexible. The flexibility of the skin causes the foil or cutter head to bunch up the skin as it passes over and cause excessive levels of friction. If this sounds like your situation or you suffer in general regardless of age, an easy thing to do is to look at the way you shave.

Tips for a more Comfortable Shave

• During shaving move your head about in order to best gently stretch/tighten the area of skin you are shaving,
• Using your free hand to lightly pull the skin in order to tighten the surface you are shaving may also come in useful,
• Shaving the same area from a couple of different angles is often needed to give a clean finish.

Pre-Shaving Treatment

An easy way to improve any shave is by using a small amount of pre-shave oil or powder. If you think it sounds messy, don’t be put off, it isn’t. Most of the shaving-oil is in fact a skin conditioner that will rub into the skin and should not leave an awkward residue after shaving, although it’s easy to rinse your face after shaving if you wish.

With the pre-shave powder stick you just need to make sure you keep the cutting assembly clean after each use.

The benefits should more than outweigh any extra time taken!
