Shaving your chest hair

Armed with the right tools, like the Gillette Trimmer, Braun products and Gillette Skinguard, shaving your chest hair is pretty simple. Follow these steps to get great results, every time:

STEP 1

Select a fixed comb length. The right comb length on your body hair trimmer can help you tame full, natural growth that hasn’t been touched by a razor for a while – or ever.

STEP 2

Trim. Trim your chest hair. Trimming the hair before shaving can help prevent clogged blades.

STEP 3

Shower. The water will help soften your chest hair (which can be wiry) and make it easier for the razor to glide over your skin. The Gillette Trimmer is waterproof so you can trim in the shower.

STEP 4

Lather Up with a shave gel. A good lather helps to hydrate hairs, enhance razor glide, and protect your skin while you shave your chest.

Check For Dull Blades. Blade feeling dull or lubrication strips looking faded? It may be time for you to swap your blade attachment before you begin.

STEP 6

Shave with Light, Gentle Strokes. Shave with light, gentle strokes, rinsing often, and with the skin pulled taut. Gillette SkinGuard is a good choice for shaving sensitive skin such as the chest hair because of its unique SkinGuard positioned between the blades. It works to minimize tug and pull and cut hair at skin level, designed to stop irritation.

STEP 7

Rinse Your Blades Often. Run the blades gently under the tap every few strokes, both the back and front sides of the blades, and then gently shake excess water off. Do not tap your razor against the sink or wipe against a towel, these habits can reduce the life of the razor by affecting the intricate design of the blade components. Rinsing the blades under running water helps to built built-up shaving gel, hair, and dead skin.

Be Careful Around Your Nipples. Go around – not directly over. You can use the fingertips of your other hand to cover your nipples as you shave near them, just in case.

STEP 9

Re-apply a shave gel as needed. You may find that you need to shave over the same spot in different directions to get a smooth shave. In order to help prevent shaving rash on your chest, ensure that you reapply shave gel before you re-stroke.

Rinse, Dry and Moisturise. Moisturising after shaving your chest is critical – it helps soothe the skin.
