Shaving for a fresh finish

Warmer weather means more time outdoors, higher temperatures and busier days. It can also mean more sweat and oil on the skin, making a good summer grooming routine especially important. A few simple changes to the way you shave can help you stay feeling fresh, comfortable and well groomed throughout the season.

Keep your skin fresh

Heat and humidity can leave skin feeling warmer and oilier than usual. Starting with clean skin helps remove sweat and excess oil before shaving, while warm water can soften facial hair and prepare it for the blade.

After shaving, rinse your face thoroughly and use a suitable post-shave product to leave the skin feeling refreshed. During particularly warm weather, keeping your routine simple can often be the most comfortable approach.

Don't rush your shave

Summer calendars can quickly fill with holidays, sporting events, weddings and weekends away, but shaving is one part of the morning that's worth taking your time over.

Use a sharp blade and shave with controlled strokes rather than repeatedly passing over the same area. This can help minimise unnecessary irritation and leave you with a clean, comfortable finish.

For those who prefer to keep some facial hair in place, summer is also a good time to keep beard lines, cheeks and the neckline neatly maintained for a sharper, well-groomed appearance.

Keep your razor clean and sharp

Looking after your razor is particularly important when temperatures rise. Rinse the cartridge thoroughly after shaving to remove hair and shaving product, and allow it to dry naturally between uses.

How you store your razor matters too. Keeping it upright on a razor stand allows it to dry properly between shaves, while helping to keep your bathroom space neat and organised. Bolin Webb razor stands are designed to provide a practical resting place for your razor when not in use.

If you're travelling this summer, protect your razor while it's packed and avoid leaving a damp blade inside a wash bag. Try the Bolin Webb silicone razor case as a simple way to keep it safely stored while you're on the move.

A little care helps keep your shaving routine consistent wherever summer takes you.
