EditPreparing to Shave
-
Choose the shaver that best fits your needs. Read men’s forums or consult a grooming specialist, like a barber who specializes in facial shaves, to understand how your facial hair grows and the correct technique to approach the contours of your face. Everyone’s hair grows at a different rate and has a different texture so be aware of what features benefit you most.
- While electric shavers are mostly used for dry shaving, new models can also be used for wet shaving as well. However, new wet models may be pricey.
- Consumer sites can help you determine which shavers suits your price point. Some shavers may be overpriced based on added features that you do not need for your specific hair type.
-
Wash your face. Warm water, a hot shower, or a warm face cloth will help soften your beard and thus make it easier to get a clean shave.
- Wash your face with a gentle facial cleanser to get rid of any dirt that has built up.[1] If you have sensitive skin, consult a skin care specialist to find out what cleanser is best for you.
- Wet a washcloth with hot water if you don’t have time to shower. Hold it to your beard/stubble for a few minutes.
-
-
Use an alcohol based pre-shave. Alcohol based products will remove dirt and your skin’s natural oil (sebum) from your skin and make your facial hair stand straight up.[3]A powder version can be used if you find alcohol to be an irritant.
- Most pre-shave products include ingredients like vitamin E to ensure that your skin is protected and irritation is reduced.[4]
- There are some products like pre-shave optimizer and pre shave oil that can improve the effectiveness of an electric shaver.[5] Consult a skin care specialist to find out what best works for your skin. Stick to your skincare routine once you’ve found what works for you.

EditChoosing between a Rotary Shaver vs a Foil Shaver
-
Identify what factors are most important to your shave. Whether you want to save time, avoid mess, or get a close shave without irritating your skin, there are basically two types of electric shaver to use: rotary and foil. Rotary shavers utilize a revolving motion that guarantees a closer shave.[7] This is a very popular choice because it doesn’t pull hair and provides a comfortable shave.
- The three rotating mechanisms of a rotary shaver can help with hard to reach areas. Flexibility can depend on the brand so do your research to accommodate the contours of your face.
- Titanium blades that form part of the rotary mechanism aid in painless shaving.[8]
- A foil shaver has oscillating blades behind steel foils that lifts the hair out of the face as opposed to cutting it. These electric shavers have 3 to 4 blades and more blades means a reduced shaving time but can also be more noisy . The large head allows you to cover more area so this choice may be right for you if you want a quick and efficient shave.[9]

Keep your shaver clean. Debris can easily build up, especially if you have thick facial hair so be sure to regularly clean your shaver. Do not bang your shavers or use tools that aren't specific to cleaning shavers.
- Foil shavers by Braun, Panasonic or Remington can be cleaned by lifting the head frame off and gently brushing out the whiskers from the under side with the cleaning brush supplied by the manufacturer. Do not touch the screen because it is very fragile.[14]
- Philips rotary head shavers can be cleaned by lifting off the razor head assembly and brushing out the under side of the three cutters and the razor chamber. Don’t tap the heads on the sink as it may dent or damage the precision-made combs.[15]
- Remove each cutter and comb the retaining plate of your rotary shaver every other month, or more if you have thick or fast growing hair, by brushing the whiskers from the cutters and soaking them in liquid cleaner and lubricate.[16]

EditMaintaining Your Skin and Shaver After You Shave
-
Apply lotion to your newly shaved face. This is especially important if you use alcohol based pre-shave, as the alcohol dries your face out.
- Consult a skin care specialist to find out what after shave works best for your skin type.
- Aftershaves, eau de toilets, and colognes are used for different purposes. Aftershave helps to give you a fresh scent after shaving while moisturizing and medicating your skin. Be aware of your surroundings in case coworkers or others in close proximity are sensitive to the strong smell that these products may provide.
-
-
Lubricate the metal pieces of your cutter and screen. A small amount of lubricant should be sprayed on the screen while the razor is running. Do not wipe it off when you're done.
- Consult the user's manual for what lubricant works best for your model. Do not use a lubricant meant for other tools as it may contain harsh chemicals not meant to touch your skin.
- Consult a skin care specialist immediately if a rash or irritation happens after applying a new lubricant. Chances are you’re having either an allergic reaction to the lubricant or a combination of the lubricant and other skin care products.
