The Secret To Getting A Close Comfortable Shave

Ok men; shaving your face is both a pain and a chore; agreed? It just seems like no matter how many blades they stack up inside that plastic razor head, you still get some nicks, cuts and bumps. Even the new-fangled razors that are on human growth hormone don’t seem to help.

If you’re like me, you’ve tried every shaving cream on the market, from foams to gels to the shaveless chemicals. You’ve also tried every razor available, from the triple blade disposable, to the retractable head electrics, and still no relief. You’ve tried shaving in the hot shower, or out in the sink and dousing your chin and neck with aftershave cooling potions, and still, you leave the bathroom with irritated skin and rashy bumps. Only to wrap them in a stiff starched color and necktie just before work.
Is there a way to get a close shave that doesn’t leave your skin feeling like it was cut with a lawn mower? Afterall, this is men’s skin care and not lawn care!
The answer is, “Yes, you can have a close, comfortable shave that leaves minimal or no bumps, nicks and cuts.”
And best of all, you can employ this secret right now without buying any special lotions, potions or gadgets.

My Secret Tip to Help You Get a Close Comfortable Shave

The secret is in freezing the blade. That’s right, for some reason, an ice cold razor blade will not nick and scratch your skin as it slices off your stubble.
I use the 3-bladed disposables and keep them in a fresh pack on the lower shelf of my freezer in a Tupperware. Each day, I open it up and grab one out, and return it clean after use. The key in keeping the blade cold is to fill your sink with cold water that is used for rinsing between shaving strokes.
In some cases, I will actually use 2 or 3 frozen razors to shave if my beard has grown overly thick. The key is keeping the blade cold.
There you have it, the secret to a close and clean shave without all the bumps and cuts.
