How to prepare for a clean shave

Shaving is amongst the simplest things you could do, especially when you do so with technologically advanced blades from the BIC® Flex series, but do it wrong and you end up with an in-grown hair or a minor nick. Learn the right way to do it with these tips to get an ultra-close, clean shave.
Wash your face thoroughly before shaving everytime
Prepare your skin with a specially formulated cream or gel
A shaving gel reduces friction between your skin and BIC ® Flex’s flexible blades
Skin irritation can thus be avoided with the shaver gliding smoothly over your skin
Use gel rather than soap, and leave it on for 2 minutes before you shave
Exfoliate your skin at least once a week

How to exfoliate to ensure a healthy shave

Exfoliation as part of the skin’s pre-shave cleansing routine, is a key element to a succesful shave. It gets rid of dead cells, softens the skin and helps release trapped hair. Not everyone knows how integral exfoliation is to a healthy shaving experience. And even if they do, there is the question of doing too much or too little. So what is the right way to exfoliate? Here’s how.
  • Don’t use a coarse body scrub on your face.
  • Use a gentle body scrub with stone extracts, grains or wax
  • Alternatively, you may use soft bristled brush in circular motions
  • Do this once or twice a week
  • Hydrate your skin afterwards
  • Remember to never exfoliate after a shave
