CLOSE SHAVE
On average, we’re shaving around
three times a week to keep legs and
underarms smooth. Here are three
tips to get your closest shave ever
Change your blade
A dull razor can result in missed hairs and
nicks. “Change [your razor] at the first sign
of dullness to avoid compromising the
quality of your shave,” says Adam
Boulding, Gillette Venus R&D expert.
If you shave daily, change your razor every
couple of weeks. If you shave only twice
a week, stretch that to six weeks.
Don’t use his...
The new breed of women’s razors is
designed with female curves in mind. “You
really are opening yourself up to greater
irritation and nips if you use a razor that’s
not designed for you,” says Boulding.
Add water
Even if you’re short on time, always use
water. “Water and shaving foam are critical
for a comfortable shave,” says Boulding. “It
helps the razor glide over your skin.” Look
for a shaver with a built-in moisturiser so
you can skip the shaving foam.
