Prepare
Begin your shave by:
• Using Gillette Series Scrub, to help buff away oil, dirt, and dead skin cells that can mat down your hair and block your razor's path.
Hydration is also key:
• Hydrating not only opens pores to help cleanse your skin, but also softens your hair, making it easier to cut
• A hot shower is ideal; however, if simply washing at a sink, hydrate your face and neck in warm water for up to 3 minutes. To help soften facial hair, apply Gillette Series Wash or Scrub.
G FACT:
Hydrating can reduce the force required to cut beard hair by up to 40%.
Apply a nondrying shave gel, such as Gillette Series to help shield your skin with Triple Protection formula against 1. nicks 2. redness 3.tightness.
• Use slow circular motions to cover all the areas you shave
• The application creates a protective blanket that helps lock in moisture and soften facial hair, resulting in smoother razor glide and less tugging of the hair for a more comfortable shave
• If you have sensitive skin, let the shave gel soak in for as long as possible—this softens your hair even more and helps further lessen the effort needed to remove it

For closeness and comfort, use an advanced, multi-blade razor, such as Gillette Fusion Power:
• Make sure you have a sharp blade in place to reduce the risk of nicks and skin irritation.
• If you are unsure of how to identify a dull blade, see if your razor has an indicator strip, which fades to white when you are no longer getting an optimal shave
G FACT:
The duller the blade, the more strokes need.

• Use light gentle strokes
• Applying too much pressure can lead to skin redness, irritation, or nicks
• Let the razor do the work, not you

Pull your skin taut:
• Doing this creates a more consistent shaving surface for your razor
Rinse your blade under warm water frequently:
• Doing so prevents blade build up on edges and cartridge and results in better glide and more comfort.
Shave with the growth first:
• If necessary, go against the grain, for a closer shave
• To determine which way your hair grows, before starting your shave, rub your hand over your face and neck—if you feel resistance, you’re going against the grain

Tricky Areas
Leave your chin and around your lips for later on in your shave:
• These are the toughest to reach and most vulnerable areas
• Letting shave gel soak in longer on these areas, softens your facial hair even further, making it even easier to cut, for a closer, more comfortable shave
• The hairs on your lip area can be especially tricky—try curling your top lip over your teeth, this stretches the skin and helps you reach these hairs with less effort
G FACT:
Dry hair is as hard to cut as copper wire of
comparable thickness.

• As you are shaping, make sure the edges are even, line up with your smile lines and form sharp corners at the jaw-line
Sideburns:
• From straight to angled—sideburns come in many forms
• Find a style that works for you, and then maintain it with a single blade
• The end goal is to make sure your sideburns are even—you can use your fingers or parts of your face, such as your earlobes, as guides

Protect
At the end of every shave:
• Rinse your razor thoroughly and shake off excess water
• Do not wipe blades or bang your razor against the sink, as this can damage the fine shaving edge
• Store your razor in its organizer to protect your blade between shaves
Rinse your face and neck with cool water:
• Doing so closes pores for better-feeling skin
• Once finished, gently pat dry
Use a hydrating After Shave, such as a Gillette Series Moisturiser that instantly absorbs to hydrate just shaved skin.
• Gillette Series After The Shave are non-greasy formulas range of products containing special cooling agents, moisturisers, and skin calmers.
• Developed to be quickly and easily absorbed by the skin, Gillette Series products help refresh and seal in the skin's natural moisture barrier for a comfortable feel and smooth look.

Hydrating can reduce the force required to cut beard hair by up to 70%
Dry beard hair is as tough as copper wire
More than 600 million guys shave with Gillette.
Yet, nearly every guy has his own approach. While no approach is right or wrong, there are ways to get a close and comfortable shave.
A great shave starts before you ever pick up a razor. And begins with using Gillette Series Scrub, to help buff away oil, dirt, and dead skin cells that can mat down the hair
on your face and neck and block your razor's path. Hydration is also key. Hydrating not only opens pores to help cleanse your skin, but also softens your hair, making it easier to cut.
A hot shower is ideal. However, if simply washing at a sink, hydrate your face and neck in warm water for up to 3 minutes. To help soften facial hair, apply Gillette Series Scrub or Wash.
Next, apply a nondrying shave gel, such as Gillette Series Shave Gel for Sensitive Skin Using slow, circular motions to cover all the areas you shave.
The application creates a protective blanket that helps lock in moisture and soften facial hair, resulting in smoother razor glide and less tugging of the hair for a more comfortable shave.
If you have sensitive skin, let the shave gel soak in for about a minute. This softens your hair even more and helps further lessen the effort needed to remove it.
For closeness and comfort, always shave with an advanced, multi-blade razor, such as Gillette Fusion Power. However, before starting,
check to make sure your blade is not dull to reduce the risk of nicks and skin irritation. Not sure how to identify a dull blade? See if your razor has an indicator strip,
which fades to white when you are no longer getting an optimal shave.
With a sharp blade in place, you are ready to begin your shave.
Throughout your shave use light, gentle strokes. Applying too much pressure can lead to skin redness, irritation, or nicks.
Ultimately, the razor should do the work, not you.
As you continue your shave, try pulling your skin taut and then shave over the area that is pulled tight.
Doing this creates a more consistent shaving surface for your razor.
It’s also a good idea to rinse your blade frequently, which prevents build up on the blade edges and cartridge
for better glide and more comfort.
Shave with the growth first. Then if necessary, go against the grain, for a closer shave.
To determine which way your hair grows, before starting your shave, rub your hand over your face and neck.
If you feel resistance, you're going against the grain.
The toughest to shave and most vulnerable areas are your chin and around your lips.
Leave these areas for later on in your shave…
Which gives shave gel more time to soak in to soften your facial hair even further,
making it even easier to cut, for a closer, more comfortable shave.
The hairs on your lip area can be especially tricky.
Try curling your top lip over your teeth, this stretches the skin and helps you reach these hairs with less effort.
For any of your facial hair that needs sculpting or to simply get a clean finish to your shave, use a single blade,
like Gillette Fusion's Precision trimmer,
which gives you greater precision and more control.
Single blades are excellent for trimming under your nose…
…As well as for shaping facial hair.
At the end of every shave, rinse your razor thoroughly and shake off excess water.
