Shaving unplugged
read Flavour’s quick guide to getting the most
out of your own personal grooming experience
option 1:
Quick Prep
A. Cleanse to remove excess oils
using a soap-free wash to allow a
closer shave and remove any grime
that can enter broken skin.
B. Wet shave: Foam up with a
gel-based shaving solution. They are
lighter, easier to remove and prevent
burning. Try Clinique M shave aloe
gel for best results. (£9.30 boots)
C. Use the Gillette Fusion Stealth
Power Blade. Shave in the direction
of the growth to prevent ingrown
hairs or in the opposite direction for a
much closer shave. (£9.78 Boots)
D. Protect and calm using a
moisturising lotion. They are
essential to replace lost moisture,
create a barrier from bacteria and
calm the skin to prevent irritation.

option 2: Pro-shave
Most Wanted
A. Soak clean flannels in moderately hot water containing a soap-free wash, then hold onto
the beard area for 2 minutes. This will warm and soften the hairs as well as the skin.
B. Then, using a shaving brush to gently scrub the skin, use circular movements to help
release compacted hairs and to soften up the bristles.

C. Using the same shaving brush, foam up a gel-based shaving solution and work into the
skin. Try the Men-u Premier shaving brush. (£28.70 Boots)
D. Using your wet-shave razor with a brand new blade, support the skin with one hand and
firmly remove the hairs in one long stroke. The solution will have more foam present using the
brush, so rinse the blade after every section to keep the blade close to the skin.

E. To finish, soak a flannel in cool water and press it against the skin for two minutes, then
apply a light cooling moisturiser or balm to protect the skin.
