1. Prepare

If you ever want to shave your face like a Manhattan Barber, you should learn how to prepare your face properly. We suggest a hot towel method. Take a soft-bristled, clean towel and add a couple of drops of your favorite essential oil. Put it in the container and soak in hot water for 5-10 minutes. Put the towel on your face and neck and let it warm up the area. It will soften the hairs and make shaving easier. Rub your facial hair for several minutes to lift it slightly. 

2. Shave

Rub in several drops of beard oil to lubricate the area before lathering. You can also use coconut, olive, or even almond oil instead of your shaving cream. Many men believe they are more effective than their generic shaving product. If you still prefer to use your favorite cream, make sure you don’t use too much of it. It would be better to re-apply it as many times as needed than putting on too much in the beginning. Use short, precise strokes with the grain. Rinse out your razor after each pass to get rid of the hairs.

3. Treat

Splash your face with ice-cold water after your shaving session. Apply an aftershave of choice or switch it for a mouthwash or even cologne. You can also use Vaseline, lip balm, and even deodorant to stop the bleeding and treat cuts and nicks. We suggest you abandon the old-school trick of treating lacerations with pieces of toilet paper. It can cause further damage when you rip the paper off.
