We can’t say it enough, cleansing is key. Not only for preparing your skin for your razor but preparing your razor for your skin. Your bristles can be hard and wear down the blades on your razor faster than you may think. Washing your face in warm water will soften your tougher hairs, reducing the chance of blunting your blade faster and creating a swift razor glide. We recommend using a Face Wash to cleanse or Face Scrub to exfoliate your skin, this step will remove impurities by lifting the hairs and getting to the places water alone won’t reach. This also reduces the risk of a post-shave irritation rash.
Clean your razor thoroughly during and after your shave. Razors of any calibre can often get clogged with hard, little hairs. Make sure you completely soak the front and the back of the razor with warm water after every stroke and remove all hair. Remember, when it’s all dandy and clean, dry it. Simply use a dry towel and pat until sufficiently dry otherwise moisture will linger and rust your blade causing the majority of damage to your steel.
Let your razor have a little break, you can use the best products in the world but a blunt razor can be the cause of irritation, razor burn, snagged hair and an uneven finish. Subsequently, your skin gets a rest too; this rule can also be applied to everyone but especially those who suffer from a case of sensitive skin. Shaving can be harsh on sensitive skin, giving hair time to grow will allow for a closer shave and reduce the possibility of an adverse reaction, such as a post-shave rash.
After all of these tips and tricks, one day your blade will be blunt. Swapping your razors can be an expensive chore. We suggest looking into the boys at The Sterling Shave Club. They run a monthly or bi-monthly service for subscription DE razor’s and more for as little as £6.99.

]]>They are loose. They reveal nothing, except for seams. But, like other pieces, such as the modest cardigan, there is a subversive sex appeal embedded in those packs of $8 high-cut panties. Another benefit? They are great to lounge in during those hot summer months. Look to Cameron Diaz in Charlie’s Angels (2000), who does a rise-and-shine, cheek-shaking dance in underwear boasting a Spiderman cartoon on the butt.
Options abound. “Luckily, lingerie brands caught on to ladies stealing from their men and started making inspired sets,” says Vogue Market Editor Alexandra Gurvitch. Here, the best options for summer, from a navel-skimming pair by Lonely Lingerie to classic Calvin Klein logo boy shorts. After all, who wants to spend a lazy Sunday in a G-string, anyway?
There’s also Scarlett Johansson in Lost in Translation (2003), who sports a powder-pink rendition; and in Crossroads (2002), Britney Spears breaks it down in her room while wearing a knotted spaghetti-strap tank, a cowboy hat, and a pair of thick-banded undies.
