Essential Tools to Shave - from the experts at Vikings Blade

The time has come to get it right with shaving. Skin irritations and bumps are not normal or a part of shaving. For many men, shaving is just another painful experience they hope they don't have to deal with. Experts at Vikings Blade are giving tips on how to get quality shave with the right tools.

The best way to get a clean, smooth shave for your stubble is wet shaving. Dry hair is very tough and rigid. This makes it difficult for blades to give an even cut without leaving you with bumps or ingrown hairs. Wet hair has lost about 80% of its toughness. It is essential to get the hair wet with warm water to help open the skin pores. It's advisable to shave after a hot or warm shower.
