Shave guide women
For women’s shaving with safety razor
For your first shave, we recommend starting with your legs. It is a little easier than other areas because you see what you are doing, and the surface you are shaving on is flat. The techniques we go through here can then be applied to other areas such as armpits and the bikini area.
Take your time for your first shave, use a light but steady hand, and start by shaving with the grain to reduce skin irritation and razor bumps after shaving. Use short strokes and move on to longer ones when you feel more comfortable with the razor. If you want a closer shave, you can try shaving across the hair growth after first shaving with the grain.
Step 1, Preparation
Moisten and Clean
The very best and easiest way to prepare for shaving is a shower. The warm water and steam open up your pores and soften the hairs.
Take the opportunity to clean the skin a little extra with our loofah; it exfoliates the skin by removing dead skin cells. The result is a softer, closer, and irritation-free shave.
Step 3, shave lather
Protect and Lubricate
Apply your favorite gel or shaving oil, try to avoid regular soap. Regular soap is not enough for a protective and lubricating layer of shaving foam. Regular soap can also dry out and irritate the skin when shaving.
Step 4, using the safety razor
Light and Steady Hand
Angle the razor against the skin at an angle of about 30-40 degrees until you feel the razor blade hitting the skin. Then work with a light hand and avoid pressing against the skin. Use short strokes until you feel comfortable with the razor, then you can start shaving with longer strokes.
Step 5, finish
Moisturize and Repair
When satisfied, rinse with cold water to close the pores and gently pat yourself dry with a towel. Then moisten with our aftershave balm.
