Hi this is Vic Sosikian I'm with Mark Matthew Fine Gentleman's Grooming Club in Studio City on behalf of Expert Village. In this clip we are going to be talking about shaving as part of the mans grooming. What you want to make sure like I said before you want to make sure you have pre-shaved oil or get out of the shower and then apply pre-shaved oil and then go ahead and apply a hot lather. If you cant get hot lather good quality shaving cream would do good as well. Hot lather is good because it continues to opening up your pores even more. You want to go ahead and rub your hands together and go ahead and apply it to your face. Once you are done with taht you want to make sure you have a good clean razor. You want to make sure whenever you are shaving you use a high quality razor. A high quality means it will have at least two blades here and a handle that is relatively heavy that way you don't put extra pressure on your skin and most of the pressure goes onto the led. What you also want to make sure that you shave with the grain to prevent any ingrown which could be very palmated. For example you would shave down, down, down. If need to be if you like to get a closure shave you can relather and shave now across the grain or against. Just be careful when you are shaving against cause that can prevent ingrown hairs.
