A combination of softening the hair, using sharp blades with lubrication, shaving correctly, and soothing the skin afterward is essential.

Preparation: Shave during or immediately after a warm shower or bath. The heat and moisture soften the hair and skin. Alternatively, apply a warm, damp towel to the area for a few minutes. Exfoliate gently 1-2 times per week (not immediately before shaving) to remove dead skin cells that can trap hairs.
Lubrication: Always use a high-quality shaving cream, gel, or oil. Apply generously and let it sit for a minute before shaving.
Sharp Blade: Use a sharp, clean razor blade. Replace blades or disposable razors frequently (after 5-7 shaves or sooner if dull).
Technique: Shave with the direction of hair growth, especially in sensitive areas. Use light, gentle strokes; don't press hard. Rinse the blade often.
Aftercare: Rinse the shaved area thoroughly with cool water to close pores. Pat skin dry gently (don't rub). Apply an alcohol-free aftershave balm, moisturizer, or aloe vera gel to soothe and hydrate the skin.
