For the closest shave nothing beats a straight-edge razor. But if you don't know how to use one, you could get hurt. For the next best thing, try these tips from a leading stylist in New York:
->Wash your face with an alcohol-free cleanser.
->Open pores by applying a hot towel to the face, or shave after a hot shower.
-> Rub shaving cream in a circular, upward motion to lift hairs, so they're easier to cut.
->Go with the grain, moving from the side towards the nose, then to the chin. Next go against the grain. Don't shave one area more than three times-it irritates the skin.
->Finish with a splash of cold water, then alcohol-free aftershave. Replace the blade frequently. Rinse it in hot water after use and store upright, never face down-that helps bacteria grow.
