A Little on How to Choose the Right Shaving Razor

It doesn't matter if you are a man, woman, or in some cases a child. At some point we need to shave either our faces, legs, or other areas to fit into society. But choosing the right razor can be difficult with all of the brands and lines of razors out there. I've been using a razor for almost 20 years so I'd like to let you in on some of my shaving tips.

 Picking the right razor can be difficult since it will depend on your type of skin and hair density. Wet shave razors are the choice of most and they come in reusable or disposable options. Although the disposable options are great, they are usually meant for a one time use and are made of a cheaper quality. The 3 most popular brands of razors are Schick, Gillette, and BIC. Gillette is the godfather of razors and had paved the way for the razor industry.

Schick comes as a close second in terms of reusable razors with disposable blades. BIC on the other hand is in a league that can not be compared to the other two because they solely focus on disposable razors. So which razor and brand do you choose? As I mentioned before it is going to depend on your skin and hair type. However, one of the keys to shaving is the shaving process itself.

You should use hot water but not so hot that it scorches the skin. Always make sure you use a new and sharp blade. With it you will need shaving foam that is lathered well in to the hairs on your face or legs. I suggest you try at least two brands and styles of razors before settling on one. I have found that some razors feel like hard plastic against your skin and others like a cats tongue.
