How To Shave With A Single Blade Razor Like a Pro

By Jon Snow Leave a Comment

Shaving requires a steady hand and good precision, especially if you are shaving with a single blade razor. Anyhow, there are lots of ways to have a perfectly clean shave that will give you the smooth and elegant look. However, it is not that easy to do it without a proper instruction.

Therefore, we are here to discuss the best way to shave with a single razor like a pro. Let’s begin.

Shaving with a Single Blade Razor – 3 Easy Steps

1) Prepare your face

First things first, you will need to prepare your face in order to get a perfectly clean shave. Now, all you need to do is to follow these next suggestions and your face will be prepared for shaving.

  • Steam up your face

Steaming your face will soften the skin which will result in a good shaving surface. You will most likely end up with less razor burns and cuts when you steam up your face before shaving. It is recommendable to do this step in the shower since your face will be soft afterward.

Also, you can place a warm towel over your face and keep it there for about 10 to 20 seconds. This will also steam your face and soften your skin.

  • Soften your beard

There are some shaving products that are specially designed to soften your beard. Namely, you need to pay closer attention to the direction of your hair growth if you want to apply this product. However, this beard softener product will help you get a clean and professional shave.

  • Apply shaving cream

When it comes to applying shaving cream, it is important to start with a small amount, then apply some more. Pour some shaving cream into your hand and apply it to face. This way, you will do this step correctly and there won’t be any complications.

2) Shaving Technique

Now, after you already prepared your face for shaving, you should now master the shaving techniques. Namely, follow these instructions and you will be just fine.

  • Long strokes

First, start with the long and steady strokes while shaving. It is also important to go with the hair growth direction. You certainly don’t want to go the opposite direction in a first stroke, this will leave you with the razor cuts and burns for sure.

  • Short strokes

Now, when your face is out of the shaving cream, you need to add more and continue shaving. So, this time you will do everything as before, just use short strokes. Also, go with the hair growth direction as well.

  • Opposite direction

Again, apply more shaving cream and start shaving in the opposite direction. Now, you really want to do this part slowly and steady. You can get some serious razor cuts if you mess up this part. Keep on mind that single blade razor is heavy and you don’t need to pressure your beard too much.

3) Restore your skin properly

After you shaved your beard correctly, it is time to restore your skin and moisturize it. Let’s see how you can do that.

  • Cold water rinse

After you are done shaving, first you need to rinse the face with cold water. Cold water will help you clean every inch of your face, so that there aren’t any shaving cream left. Also, cold water is great after your skin gets irritated.

  • Wipe your face dry

Use a clean and soft towel and wipe your face slowly. You really don’t want to be rough with your face, so do this part slowly and with care. This will help your face to start restoring as there isn’t any moist left on the beard.

  • Apply aftershave lotion or balm

Now, it is time to apply aftershave lotion or balm. It really is your choice which one you prefer, but, after a single blade razor shave, it is recommendable to use aftershave lotions for sensitive skin. These lotions don’t contain any alcohol and they are pretty good for the skin.

  • Moisturize your skin

Last step for restoring your skin is to moisturize it. You can apply so many different balms that moisturize the skin, it really is up to you to choose your favorite. Also, keep in mind that moisturizing is quite important for restoring your skin.

Last Words 

In the light of everything we said above, it is clearly not that complicated to shave with single blade razor when you have good instructions. Anyhow, you just need to stick to these steps and you will have a perfectly clean shave for sure.

Make sure to follow these instructions in the given order so that you can shave like a pro.
