Sometimes we may forget that the men in our lives have to do a little grooming too. Whether it’s trimming a beard or avoiding the five o’clock shadow, the men might even groom more than women! (OK, probably not.) Shaving is one of those things where it’s immediately noticeable if your skip it (unlike washing your hair where you could probably last a day or two.) As a daily ritual for many men, having the right tools and some handy tricks can make their grooming a little easier.
Several months ago, we had a mini-shaving revolution when we received a fogless shower mirror that allowed Gil to reduce his grooming time by being able to shave in the shower. The mirror even lit up so he was able to make sure he didn’t miss a spot.
Check out this video from Gillette and Dollar general for some more shaving tips from celebrity stylist Marcus Geeter:

Natalia says
August 30, 2012 at 11:34 amIf you are woman with coarse leg hair, save shaving your legs and underarms towards the end of your shower. The hair softens making it for an easier shave. Make sure to use conditioner or a moisturizing soap. This not only makes your legs softer, but the hair softer. I prefer to use a men’s razor, like the Gillette Mach 3. There are more blades and seem to be sharp enough to take down coarse hair. Your shave is smooth and saves you from the nicks on your legs. 🙂
Jessie C. says
August 30, 2012 at 11:36 amNever forget to moisturizer skin after shaving, use cream to shave.

THOMAS RICHARD says
September 12, 2012 at 2:33 amMy shaving tip is to buy blades when there is a coupon in the P&G brand newspaper circular along with a gift card for a certain store in that stores flyer with purchase.
Michael D Day says
September 12, 2012 at 2:56 amI am sharing my tip and its to use lotion instead of shaving cream- it doesn’t irritate the skin, and saves you more time spent applying something to the skin after you shave. Plus, lotion doesn’t have to be washed off or rubbed off like shaving cream does.
June Ebinger says

September 12, 2012 at 3:09 pmThis is an Awesome Giveaway!
cathlene dantuono says
September 12, 2012 at 3:12 pmNever use a cheap razor. Never let water touch your legs until you rinse your legs off after having shaved. & never let the razor touch your face, that is a BIG..NO NO!!
ewhatley says
September 12, 2012 at 4:24 pmI always use a moisturizing shave gel – no cut and no red bumps
Julie says
September 12, 2012 at 7:56 pmI usually just use soap
Steve K says
September 13, 2012 at 1:55 pmThe more moist… the better the shave. Gels and foams hold the moisture but foams dry out faster. A hot, steamy shower is a place to get a good shave if you don’t mind wasting a lot of water.
