hey what's going on you guys welcome back to a brand new video with Tiege
Hanley my name is Dominick Whelton for those who don't know and today we are
gonna be talking about the correct way to shave because believe it or not
although most guys shave not every guy knows how to correctly get the perfect
shave so we're gonna break it down today in today's video how you can get the
cleanest shave possible let's get into it
so when it comes to shaving the first thing you want to do is follow the
grains essentially what this means is your hair on your face grows in a
certain direction the best way to figure out which direction it grows is to rub
your fingers like this along it and wherever you feel the most friction is
where your hair is growing against so when I bring my hands down like this
there's no friction now the hair on some people's face may grow to the side it
may grow up a little bit and sometimes it's even different on opposite sides of
the face so the first thing to do is figure out where that grain is
this is gonna help you avoid redness and irritation and in
addition to that when it comes to shaving too I just want to give you a
little pointer when you eventually do shave in order to avoid redness and
irritation as well don't shave in the exact same spot a few times all you
should need is one clean swipe and you're good to go so the first thing
when it comes to prep that you want to do is you really want to cleanse your
face I personally use Tiege Hanley's level one skin care system just for my
skincare routine but it ends up working perfectly for my shaving routine as well
what I'll do is I'll turn on the water I'll make sure I get it to a lukewarm
temperature then I'll use Tiege Hanley's cleanser I will wash my face get off all
the dirt and grime and this is also a perfect way to open up my pores the next
thing I do is I use Tiege Hanley's scrub I exfoliate twice a week so when I'm
shaving usually every other day I'll make sure about two times out of the
week that I shave I will use that scrub to get all the dead skin cells off all
the nasty grime that way when I do start shaving it is as smooth as possible and
the surface I'm prepping is ready for go the next thing I'll do is use Tiege Hanley
exfoliating scrub now I use this twice a week but I shave about every two
to three days so it ends up balancing out for me and this is a great way to
get all the dead skin cells off my face because when you shave you want to make
sure right before you place that razor you've prepped your face to have the
smoothest surface possible after that you can go ahead
apply either your shaving oil or shaving cream and what that does is it loosens
the hair follicles so when you actually start shaving there's less tugging and
less irritation when it comes to my razor I personally use a single blade
razor I found there's a little less tugging and when it's time to use it
I'll make sure I run it under hot water make sure that blade is always clean
before you use it and after you use it and I will gently and slowly start going
in the direction that my hair grows you want to make sure after every shave that
you've rinsed it in water you get all the shaving cream and the hair off so
the blades are unclogged and then you just repeat for really as much hair as
you have on your face I know for myself when I first started shaving I didn't
pay any attention to the direction my hair was growing so I would shave down
on the sides and then when it came to my neck I would shave up and I was left
with a ton of ingrown hairs redness little boils and that's the last thing
you want especially if you're shaving your face to go to a job interview a
date or even just on the day-to-day basis going out we're even if you're
just staying at home the last thing you want to do is look in the mirror and see
a razor burn and think damn that could have been avoided this is so important
because shaving your face can really dry out your skin so I will use my Tiege Hanley
moisturizer I use the AM during the day it has SPF 20 in it so if I'm going
out I'm protected from the skin or if I'm shaving at night I will just grab
the PM and moisturize my face in my neck so my skin stays healthy and radiant
after every shave the longer they get unfortunately the more of the hairs
might tug and get in between your acne especially if you have any open pimples
the shorter the hairs are the easier they are to shave and the smoother your
face is going to be when you go through that process so if you're dealing with
acne again make sure you're very gentle when you shave your face you're washing
it before you're using a shaving cream to loosen those hair follicles so
there's no irritation and you're following it up with a moisturizer to
make sure that your skin is protected because if you're like me and you use
your skin care products with your shaving routine you're actually knocking
out skin care and shaving at the exact same time typically recommended that
guys with really sensitive skin should shower and then shade after however if
you're somebody that doesn't really deal with sensitive skin or irritation
sometimes it's easier to just shave while you're in the shower
we're in save time for myself I've personally just bought a little shower
mirror off Amazon hanging in the shower while I'm in there I get my whole
shaving in skincare routine done and I save time but again it comes down to the
individual and what works best for you the last thing I want to talk about how
to avoid when it comes to shaving is something that so many guys struggle
with and that's razor bumps razor bumps are essentially ingrown hairs so when
you shave and you don't go with the grain you go against the grain you
typically get these little curly hairs that pop back up and twist which caused
a lot of inflammation and irritation if you're currently struggling with that
the best thing to do is just let it grow let your body heal and then when it
comes to preventing you want to cover every step we've covered in this video
to make sure you're taking all the preventative measures to have the
healthiest smoothest shave while preventing irritation razor burns and
scars and again the best way to prevent this is to make sure you're washing your
face you're moisturizing you're getting a clean healthy smooth shave with a
blade that is not dull it's run under hot water you're using the right shaving
cream and you're putting into practice these healthy habits for your shaving
routine daily shave a with the grain that not against it and with that I'm
telling you guys you're not going to see irritation you're not gonna see
inflammation you're just gonna see a smooth sexy face and that's all anybody
wants with that you guys I really hope you enjoyed this video on how to get the
