Shaving Tips & Tricks Part 1 ITS O.K. TO SHAVE WITH A TREET BLADE WET RAZOR! There is no medical evidence supporting the rumor that wet shaving causes your hair to grow back faster and/or thicker. TREET BLADE is able to cut hair better when it is wet. Most shaving damages result from using dull blades, the wrong shaving products and/or a lack of preparation. So relax, and get ready to wet shave the right way with TREET BLADE. NEVER, EVER DRY SHAVE WITH A RAZOR! No, no, no! Just dont do it. Its b-a-d for your skin and besides, it can cause ingrown hairs. DO NOT SHAVE IN DIM LIGHTS! Proper lighting is very important for safe shaving. Use higher wattage light bulbs around the sink area, or turn on the bathroom flood light for best results. Either way, dont use TREET BLADE in the dark! WHICH IS BEST: SINK or SHOWER? Its your choice. Many men prefer shaving after they shower in front of their bathroom sink and mirror. Others shave right there in the shower, usually as the last thing they do before finishing so that the warm water and steam open skin pores and soften facial hair. USE DOUBLE BLADE RAZOR CARTRIDGES with ALOE STRIPS Although some claim that a single blade razor cartridge is less irritating to use for shaving, youll find this wont be the case with lubricant-stripped double blades, if you take the time to prepare your skin prior to shaving and use a moisturizing shave cream or gel. DO NOT USE DULL or RUSTED RAZOR BLADE CARTRIDGES Typically, a razor needs to be replaced between every 2 to 8 shaves, depending on the texture of your hair. Using old blades will result in an irritating shave and damage to the skin. So change your razor on an as-needed basis for the best shaves possible! ALWAYS SHOWER BEFORE SHAVING with MID-TO-VERY WARM but NOT SUPER HOT WATER You will need to shower for at least 5-10 minutes before you begin shaving in order to prep your skin and hair. Warm water opens the pores of your skin, softens the hairs and makes shaving easier. CONSIDER SHAVING IN THE SHOWER Some men shave in the shower as the last thing they do before they towel off. If this makes sense to you, try it with TREET BLADE. EXFOLIATE YOUR FACE TWICE A WEEK BEFORE YOU SHAVE When you remove the top layers of dead skin on your face prior to shaving, you will help your skin stay clear and get a cleaner, closer shave. This also prevents ingrown hair problems. You can exfoliate during your shower. Use a loofah sponge, Buff Puff pad, or a special facial scrub from the skin care product aisle at the drug store. LOOK IN A MIRROR WHEN YOU SHAVE YOUR FACE It is hard to get a good look at where the hair is under nose and chin, so use a mirror with TREET BLADE. This way, you will not miss anything. If you shave in the shower, buy an anti-fog mirror. PREPARE YOUR RAZOR Run very hot water over your TREET BLADE blades first, before you start shaving. PREP YOUR FACE BEFORE SHAVING With very warm water, wet your face and a washcloth. Lightly soap the washcloth and with slight pressure, glide the cloth upward against the growth of hair on your face, starting at the lower neck and moving up. This will make your beard stand up for easier shaving. Rinse, DO NOT USE EXTREMELY HOT WATER, because this is drying to the skin and damaging to your pores. Rinse off the washcloth and wring it out, then place it on the areas you will be shaving, like the face and neck. Hold it in place for 1-2 minutes. Doing all of this will help guard against razor burn by softening the hairs. KEEP STILL and STEADY Relax, breathe steadily, and pay attention to what you are doing.
