home products for shaving?

Shaving has become an essential part of the grooming process for both men and women. Although some guys choose to go razorless and grow a beard, most processionally oriented men will choose a clean shave anyday. Check out the list below and see which works best for you.

  1.  Shaving with honey: Wet your chin, leg or area to be shaved with warm water.The warm water opens the pores and softens the hair so you'll get a smoother shave with less razor burn. Then, apply 1-2 tablespoons of honey over the area and use a shave razor to shave in the direction of hair growth. Rinse with warm water. Don't worry,it doesn't leave a sticky residue. The honey washes away easily with plain water. Finally, dry the area with a clean dry towel and follow up with an all natural moisturizer like coconut oil.
  2. Shaving with aloe vera:wet your skin with warm water and apply aloe vera to eradicate dead skin and open up the pores of the skin to prepare it for a close shave. Then, thoroughly massage the gel on the area to be shaved. Using a blade, shave in the direction of your hair growth. Rinse the blade often in warm water when shaving.
  3. Shaving with glycerine: Put a small amount of liquid glycerine into your palm. Using fingertips, apply glycerine to the area you plan to shave by rubbing in a circular motion.Use a shaving razor to shave against the grain of the hair. Rinse the remaining glycerine from the skin using warm water and pat dry with a dry towel.
  4. Shaving with coconut oil: wet the area you want to shave with warm water, add a few drops of coconut oil and run this into the face or area to be shaved.This clear oil makes it more easier for you to see what you're doing. Rinse the blade regularly to avoid build . The coconut oil will mousturize the skin leaving it soft,smooth and replenished.
  After shaves:  Alcohol based after shaves can be problematic for it kills healing skin and also slows healing skin. There are other nourishing options for after shave skin care like:

  1. Shea butter: By itself  it is an excellent after shave lotion .
  2. Coconut oil: works by itself too and will discourage breakouts from shaving ( is there anything this oil won't do? Lol)
  3.   Rosemary oil: This oil is naturally antibacterial and has a great woody scent.
I hope each and everyone of my readers find which home products to substitute for shaving creams among those listed above. Feel free to ask any question in the comment box.
