Shaving cuts and nicks are probably the most annoying shaving problem that men face after ingrown hairs. The pain and blood associated with shaving cuts is enough to make some of us men swear off shaving and grow a beard.

But don’t fret: We’ve put together this list of men’s grooming tips to help you prevent shaving cuts and get a closer shave.

Check out these 4 Ways for a Close Shave now!

#1  Exfoliate Before Shaving

Not preparing your skin before shaving is one of the most common causes of shaving cuts. Before shaving, make sure you use the MenScience Microfine Face Scrub to get rid of dull buildup and make your follicles plumper. As a result, you’ll get a closer shave and reduce your risk of developing shaving cuts and nicks.

#2 Use a High-Quality Men’s Shaving Formula

A shaving cream specifically designed for men’s skin helps reduce irritation and shaving cuts by providing a thick, lubricating layer to protect your skin. MenScience Advanced Shave Formula contains skin-soothing ingredients like glycerin and aloe to leave your skin fresh and free of any shaving nicks. Unlike most mass-market shaving creams, this premium shaving formula doesn’t contain alcohol or other irritants that can contribute to shaving problems like razor burn and ingrown hairs.

#3 Stop the Bleeding with a Lip Balm.

Most of us men use lip balms to protect our lips from weather conditions, but a lip balm (MenScience Advanced Lip Protection) can also help soothe shaving cuts around the lips. A lip balm helps condition skin, thus slowing down and stopping the bleeding. This is a much better solution than leaving a small piece of tissue paper on a cut; the wound will reopen once you rip the tissue off the injury, leaving behind a bloody mess.

#4 Apply an Alcohol-Free Men’s Aftershave

Immediately after shaving, your skin is extremely sensitive. To reduce irritation and promote healing, make sure you apply a premium aftershave like MenScience Post-Shave Repair, which doesn’t contain alcohol; alcohol can sting when applied to shaving cuts and nicks.
