(ThyBlackMan.com) There are a few weird and wonderful shaving tips out there for men at the moment. However, just because they’re weird doesn’t make them any less effective! Here are some of the most unusual shaving tips for men, that should hopefully help you to get better results:
Fingers Aren’t Good Enough – You Need A Badger Brush
If you’ve been using your fingers to lather up your face all this time, you’ve been doing it wrong. You might have even realized that you’re not getting the best shave, but can’t figure out why. This could be it! Your fingers aren’t good enough, and you should be using a badger brush or a similar shaving brush instead. The old school way is actually the best way, especially in this case! Using a badger brush allows you to lather up your hairs properly, and really get it 
soaked in ready for shaving. You need to thoroughly work it in to get the best result, and this is without a doubt the best way to do it.
Shave With The Grain – But Be Smart If You Don’t
There’s a huge debate about whether guys should be shaving with the grain or against the grain. Ultimately, this can be down to personal preference. However, there are pros and cons to both. Shaving with the grain will cause much less irritation. However, you won’t get the smoothest result. This is why so many do shave against the grain. If you’re somebody who goes against the grain, make sure you prepare first. Get in a warm shower and moisturize your skin for a few minutes beforehand, as this will cut down the work you have to do to get a smooth shave.
Use Confident Strokes
What is a confident stroke, you might ask? Well, it simply means a long, regular razor stroke, that you’re confident has removed all of the hairs. Going over the same area again, even with a product like the one shown here SMH could cause all kinds of irritation. You definitely don’t want to be going over the same spot again and again. One good stroke should do it! Investing in a decent razor to help you get it done is a good idea!
Look At Shaving As An Art
Shaving is somewhat of an art, when you think about it. You need to make sure you’re using the right products for your individual hair and skin type. You need to make sure you’re using the techniques that work for you. Most of all, you need to practice to make it perfect.
Finish With Cold Water
When you’re done, splashing your face with cold water can help to close the pores and soothe your face. It might not feel comfortable, but it’ll definitely help. If that isn’t enough for you, you can also apply aloe gel to help soothe any irritation.
So there you have them. Use these tips next time you shave and leave a comment with how you get on.
