Part III: The Post Shave

Others see the difference, you feel it!
Wow, you've come this far! Now that your face is whisker free and as smooth as a baby's, its time to protect it from the elements. Now why would you want to take part in a ritual that just dries your skin out or makes you look older? That is the problem with alcohol based aftershaves, they dry your skin out, therefore making you look older. After you've shaved you are going to use cold water to close up your pores, cool your face off, and reduce irritation. Since you do not want to use alcohol, try using an after shave balm or lotion, these keep your skin hydrated and also protect your skin from irritations. An extra step you might want to take if you get ingrown hairs or razor bump(razor bumps look like pimples or zits and very uncomfortable) is a razor bump cream. You simply put some on your hands, and apply it to your skin, this will greatly reduce the chances of razor bumps. Now before you say "Oh what a great shave that was!", you are going to need to clean up. After you're done your ritual you need to put everything in place and dry out your tools so they stay in great shape. Take your razor blade apart and dry out each piece including the blade, drying out the blade will make it last longer and keep it sharp for your next adventure. Next, we want to dry out the brush, this is quite easy, all you do is rinse any soap or cream off of it and twist the bristles or hairs gently, after this you can either put it on your bathroom table or let it air dry in your stand. So that sums it up for this how-to series. I hope you have enjoyed reading this as much as I enjoyed making it!
