Whether you sport a full beard, stubble, or neither of the above, when it comes to shaving, it’s always wise to have the right tools at the ready, and perfecting the art of the correct way to shave. Doing so will save you precious time, whilst minimising irritation, redness and nicks (and the awkward trip to the barber to rectify ingrown hairs).
So, if you prefer shaving in the comfort of your own home, we’ve listed the best shaving gadgets from the avant-guard all-in-ones to the traditional razors for you to try now.
If you’re serious about shaving, then you’ll understand the necessity of ensuring clean skin is first-and-foremost. That means cleansing – and not just splashing water to moisten the skin. In fact, a suitable facial cleanser, like Remington’s FC2000 Recharge ensures all the unwanted, dead skin cells and dirt is gently buffed away for smoother skin to work with. This will greatly reduce the risk of sore skin and infections – something you’ll thank us for, no doubt.
Starting with the nifty razor for the hurried gent (who wants keep quick-growing stubble at bay, without the fuss), Gillette’s Fusion ProShield razor offers a clean shave without irritation. And since this is Gillette’s most advanced cartridge yet, the ProShield lubrication handily runs along your skin, before and after the blades. The precision trimmer feature and flexball technology only gives us more impressive reasons why we approve of this gadget.
If you’re an all-or-nothing man, then Braun’s multi grooming kit aptly delivers all your grooming needs. Thanks to its 8 attachments (including Gillette’s Fusion ProShield Flexball Razor), you’re able to execute superb beard styling with 13 precision length settings – all with up to an hours worth of rechargeable battery power. The ultra sharp stainless steel blades cut through long or thick hair without any pulling or tugging, and better still, no replacement blades needed. The best part? You can easily switch to nose hair trimming and hair clipping, too.
Many will agree that the closest shave can be achieved with the safety razor, and investing in quality, like D R Harris’ three-piece safety razor not only has a vintage appeal, but delivers the cleanest of shaves.
