1 Shaving before having shower:
We always advice our clients to shave after having shower to soften the skin and open the pores and get smooth and comfortable shaving.
2 Rinse the shaving razor with very hot water:
This effects the blades as it may expand with the heat and cause irritation and rush to the skin.
3 Poor knowledge and preparation of shaving techniques:
We strongly advice our clients to use the pre-shave oil before the shaving cream and massage it on the face for few minutes, discover the direction of the hair growth so shaving should be with the direction of the hair growth and across if necessary. Never against! And rinse the face with cold water to close the pores following with aftershave palm.
4 Men with thinning hair most of the time leave their hair long on the sides and the back:
We always recommend our clients with thinning hair to cut their hair as short as possible on the sides and the back to keep balance with the thinning hair on the top.
5 Men are lazy when it comes to using products:
A majority of men don’t use conditioner, face wash and cleanser, moisturiser and hand cream. Start using them.
