Gone are the days when a hairy body was considered manly. These days, many women prefer their men to be well-groomed – more specifically, a clean-shaven face and body. Most Bollywood heroes have made this transition from flaunting chest hair to showing off their clean shaven abs and cuts. So if you are planning to shave it all off too, keep these tips in mind.
#1 Before you begin shaving any body part, splash some lukewarm water on the area. This will open up the pores, soften the hair and make it easier for the razor to glide smoothly.
#2 Once the area is clean, pat dry and begin the shaving process.
#3 Don’t forget to apply a Shaving Gel for a better shaving experience.
#4 When shaving the chest, watch out for the direction of hair growth as it grows in different directions. So glide the razor accordingly.
#5 After shaving your armpits, do not use any deodorant or perfume on the area as it can cause a burning sensation.
#6 It is important to shave your privates carefully as a cut can get infected and also cause more pain since the area is sensitive. You can hold the skin taut with the other hand for a close shave without nicks and cuts.
#7 It is important to close your pores once you finish shaving. To do so, splash cold water on the skin and follow it up with an aftershave lotion. Also use a moisturiser as the skin can feel irritated and dry.
#8 If you have a razor cut or any bruise or wound, do not shave that spot till it heals completely.
#9 If you accidently cut yourself due to wrong shaving technique, apply an antiseptic lotion or try a natural remedy such as turmeric or aloe vera gel.
#10 There are several types of razors available in the market. Pick one that is made exclusively for male body grooming such as the Gillette BODY. With features like a rounded head, protective cushions for the tricky spots, an anti-slip grip for exceptional control and 3 lubricating strips, it’s ideal for body grooming without nicks and cuts.
