Shaving is a fact of life for many of us. So how do you get a good shave? Here are some quick tips to a good wet shave:

1. Use a fresh blade-- When the blade doesn't flow smoothly through your beard-- it is time to change blades
2. Apply soap on your face prior to shaving cream-- This helps with lubrication
3. Rinse blade in cool water-- This extends the life of the blade and helps avoid razor burn
4. Shave in shower-- Steam in the shower help raises the hair for better shaving (Use a fog free mirror)
5. Use a shaving brush-- These raise the hair as well for a better shave
6. Shave in short strokes-- Short strokes with a rinse in between keeps the blades clear for better shaving
7. Go with the grain-- Shave in the direction of your beard to avoid ingrown hairs
8. Rinse your face with cool water-- Remove shave cream and other debris
9. Pat the shaved area dry-- Avoid irritated the skin and removing healthy oils
10. Consider a light moisturizer-- This replenishes and heals the skin

These tips should help you get a better shave as early as tomorrow morning.
