Shaving can be a pain in the butt for multiple reasons. Not only are many hair removal products full of chemicals, but they cause skin irritation as well, i.e. Nair ( that stuff kills my skin). Many of the cans of shaving creams are wasteful as well and cost too much for the amounts you get. So, here is a cheap and easy way to shave and avoid razor bumps and ingrown hairs, etc.
- Prep skin with oil/butter. Rub into skin so that it is absorbed. Some recommend exfoliation prep to get rid of dead skin too, but I've never done that.
- This helps with allowing the blades to pass over the skin smoothly ( stop razor burn), while moisturizing the skin. I randomly used my current OCM mixture because I was being lazy and didn't want to look for my other oils/butters, but it worked great, lol!
- Apply soap/cream and shave ( Many recommend using a shaving brush to assist with spreading the cream and skin absorbing moisturizing ingredients)
- Apply After Shave
- I made a Aloe Vera Gel w/ tea tree oil blend. FYI: You really need to dilute the tea tree oil in the aloe, otherwise it will burn, lol! Lessons learned!
- The Aloe Vera gel cools and soothes skin and tea tree oil acts as antiseptic & antibacterial preventing razor bumps and ingrown hairs.
Enjoy!
