Pre-Shave Oil Benefits and Why Every Man Should Use Them
How does pre-shave oil prevent razor burn, bumps and what does it do for your skin?
Pre-shave oil softens your beard so that the razor can easily cut through the hairs, without pulling on your skin or causing irritation to the hair follicles. The Famous Beard Oil Company’s pre-shave oils also provides the necessary lubrication for the razor blade to slide cleanly and smoothly over the sensitive skin of the face. The oil clings to your skin and hair, which means that it stays in place when you lather up, providing lubrication and protection for your skin. You should apply pre-shave oil before shaving to enjoy all its benefits. First, rinse your face thoroughly with warm water to open up the pores and clean away everyday dirt from the skin. You then need to put just a few drops of pre-shave oil onto your palms and gently massage the oil into your face. Give the oil at least a minute to soak into the hair follicles, softening the beard in preparation for an easy shave. Finally, lather up and shave as you usually would, using a high-quality, sharp-edged razor.
