14 DAY TRIAL // The hair fiber has in its composition keratin and some derived proteins. The protein has a fibrous structure, which also enters in the composition of feathers, nails, hoofs, and horns. Of all the hair growing on the human body, the beard has the toughest and most resistant fibers, being as hard to cut off like copper fiber of similar thickness. There are no less than 25,000 fibers, on average, in the human beard, which grow about 0.5 millimeters in 24 hours.
This is how you should use a shaving blade:
1. Soaking the beard. The only way to soak well all the facial hair consists in rinsing the face with a lot of warm water. If it's possible, shave after taking a shower, as during the shower, the hot water softens the beard.
2. Products' application before shaving. All the shaving soaps, foams, creams and gels realize in fact three things: retain water in the hair fiber, maintain the hair fibers straight and oint the skin so that the blade slides easier. Choose the product that comes with the best results in your case. Have you tried with hair balm? This too softens the hair.
3. The correct use of a good blade. A good blade is a blade that cuts well. Blunted blades can harm the skin. Cut the hair in its growth direction. If you shave in the opposite direction, you will probably have a "clean face", but you may have cut your hair fibers under the skin level and subsequently, they will grow through the surrounding tissue instead of growing through the skin's pores.
Specialists say that a careless shaving both in the cases of men and women can provoke viral infections that lead to the development of warts.
4. Protect your skin after shaving. Every time you shave, you remove a microscopical skin layer, leaving this way the skin vulnerable. That's why it is important to rinse the face with clean water for removing all the remains, first with warm water, then with cold water, so that the pores will close, and the water to be retained by the skin. By choice, you can apply an after shave moisturizing lotion to protect and brisk the skin.
