The Final Step in Your Body Care Routine
Body shaving is typically done during or right after your shower. When skin and hair are softened by warm water, the blade glides more smoothly and irritation is minimized. Shave before applying body lotion or oil, then move on to your moisturizing step once you're done.
Use It Around Your Shower Schedule
Whether you shower in the morning or evening, fit it into your routine as it suits you. Just keep in mind that skin can be more sensitive right after shaving, so if you're heading out, skip heavily fragranced perfumes or alcohol-based products. Shaving at night gives your skin time to recover while you sleep.
How to Shave Properly
Before shaving, apply a generous layer of body wash or shaving foam to protect your skin. Glide the blade gently in the direction of hair growth, and aim for one clean pass rather than going over the same area multiple times to reduce irritation. For curved areas like knees and ankles, gently stretch the skin and work slowly.
Post-Shave Soothing Routine
Right after shaving, rinse with cool water to help tighten pores, then follow up with aloe gel or an unscented body lotion to lock in moisture. Alcohol-free products are ideal for freshly shaved, sensitive skin. Hold off on exfoliating products the same day, and wait at least a day before using them again.
Caring for and Replacing Refill Blades
After each use, rinse the blade thoroughly under running water to remove any buildup, and store it in a dry place. If the blade starts to feel rough or doesn't glide smoothly, it's time for a replacement. We recommend changing blades every 5 to 7 uses, or immediately if you notice any rust.
