Brazilian Bare Women's Post Shave Body Powder - Citrus/Aloe Scent - 6 oz

After years of painstaking research, Rachel, Brazilian Bare's Founder & Chief Beauty Officer, has gathered a number of important "tips and tricks" that will help you achieve the closest, smoothest shave possible as well as care for your skin.

General Shaving Tips:

Always shave in the shower or bathtub. This allows the steam/warm water to soften your skin and hair, making it easier to shave.

There are two components of a close, smooth shave: The razor and the shave cream/gel (or syrup) that you choose to use. Don't skimp on either because, as Mom used to say, "You'll only be hurting yourself!". We recommend using a five-blade razor that vibrates and, yes, Brazilian Bare Shave Syrup. We've found that regular disposable blades, while cheap and easy to use, simply don't perform nearly as well and traditional shave creams and gels don't provide maximum protection from the rigors of shaving.

Replace the blade as soon as you feel it is starting to get dull. The number of shaves you can get from a single blade will vary on a number of things including how well you clean it and how big the areas are that you are shaving.

Shave downward first. This allows you to go "with the grain", minimizing "pulling" and razor irritation/ingrown hairs.

Shave using short strokes (your legs are an exception). This allows for better razor control and can minimize nicks and cuts.

Try to pull your skin taut/tight. As long as this doesn't result in discomfort, this will help the razor's blade glide smoothly over your skin and result in fewer nicks and cuts.

Never press too hard while shaving ... the razor should be allowed to do all of the work without much pressure from you.

Shave as often as you need it. Staying "on top" of hair removal helps ensure that shaving is as easy and painless as possible.
