Additional Grooming Tips:
Select your fragrances wisely. Don't mix fragrances, attempt to use the same brand and fragrance for deodorant, cologne, shave gel or soap, and aftershave balm or lotion. You can safely vary fragrances between seasons or apply a different aroma for work (daytime) than night (dating/socializing)
---Ambery: This family of scents include vanilla, animal, and many floral and wood scents. These tend to be full-bodied, warm, and heavy on certain notes. Scents in this class have a history of being from the Middle East, Far East or the Victorian Era.
---Wood: Cedar, Sandalwood, and Patchouli make up this family of scents. The aroma is like that of freshly cut, dry wood.
---Leather: The family of leather scents includes tobacco, honey, and wood used in the base of middle notes, resulting in a scent that is similar to leather.
---Fougere: Is derived from the French word meaning 'fern'. It is made up of a base of coumarin, lavender, and oakmoss. Many of men's fragrances are listed in this family because they have a woody or herby scent.
---Oceanic: A newer men's fragrance, developed in 1991, has a very clean, open-air scent.
---Citrus: Until recently, the lack of technology prevented this family of fragrances. Scents that fall into this category include lemon, orange, bergamot, grapefruit, and pomello.
---Fruit: Another newer development in the men's fragrances include strawberry, apple, banana, and pineapple.
Additional Shaving Technique
TECHNIQUE
Hair grows in different directions. Shaving in the direction the hair grows will help you avoid irritation. However, carefully shaving against the grain will give you a closer shave.
Always posture yourself to naturally stretch and smooth the skin in the area to be shaved. Additionally, you can further help to stretch the skin smooth by gently applying pressure above or below area to be shaved with free hand.
Always use feather light strokes applying a minimum of pressure. To avoid irritation, take a maximum 2-3 strokes over any one area. Do not pool water in sink to rinse blades. Rinsing your blade in a sink full of water is non-hygienic. Rinse blade frequently with hot running water.
Shaving is a combination of sight and feel. When finished, run fingers over shaved area to find any oversights.
MOISTURIZE
Rinse and clean shaved area with cold water to close the pores. Gently pat dry..
