“Mr. Brown,
Hot weather generally is a hassle for therefore many varieties of grooming points, however particularly shaving. There is an ongoing debate on-line as to the advantages of a chilly water shave and the professionals and cons are most likely worthy of an article in and of itself.
However, I believe the chilly water shave can be an ideal possibility so that you can attempt. Basically chilly water will preserve you pores and skin taught and flat for a easy shaving floor. For your neck attempt going solely with and throughout the course of hair progress. Going in opposition to the course of progress offers the closest shave but additionally opens up the possibility for irritation.
Moisturizing your pores and skin at night time will assist preserve irritation at bay additionally. Night time throughout heat weather is finest for making use of a moisturizer for the reason that lotion or balm gained’t seem or really feel further greasy and heavy in your pores and skin when coping with the warmth of the day.
Also attempt making use of a lightweight layer of talcum powder or corn starch powder round your neck line to assist fight moisture and supply an additional layer of safety out of your collar. i hope this helps and tell us the way it works for you in the upcoming hotter months!
