How to shave with a T-bar: skin preparation
There are two options for skin preparation - classic and smart. Use whatever you like, but don't use soap in any.
According to the classics, they wash themselves with hot water, because it softens the bristles. This makes shaving easier. But no one says that hot water also activates blood circulation and relaxes the skin. As a result, it swells, becomes flabby and is easier to cut. Also, hot water washes away natural sebum, which makes razor glide worse.
The smart way is to splash cool water in your face first and then use a shaving product that softens the stubble. Cool water tones, makes the face smoother. And most products of well-known brands are capable of softening the bristles.

- Don't press the razor against your skin.
- Hold it at the correct angle - so that it does not slip, but scrapes over the bristles.
