The Right Brushes

The best shaving brushes are the one filled with badger hair as experts believe that the soft lather produced by the brush exfoliate hair and massage or fluffs out whisker to ensure they're standing firm when the blade moves over them. It helps in retaining water and is soft to the skin. The finest badger hair brush may range from to 00 top-of-the-line brands. Brushes made of 'extra silvertip' with a high-quality handle can sell for as much as 0 USD. If you would like to go for cheaper rate brushes with more or less same quality, then go for Boar bristle brushes as they are stronger and thicker than badger hair models. However they are not flexible or soft comparably.

Razors
For a perfect shave, go for a quality multi-blade cartridge safety razor like the latest Mach 3 or a complete double edged safety razor. For a close shave, razor cartridges with two to four blades are considered the best. Most safety razor cartridges and razor blades last between one to four weeks. However, razors are not much preferred as they can lead to razor bumps and ingrown hairs.

Electric shavers
Here is a comparison of two main electric shavers, rotary shaver and foil shaver. Rotary shavers, cuts beard like a lawnmower. They have a series of blades, perfectly organized in a circular pattern. It excels in cutting longer beards. Foil shavers are designed to give a closer shave. It contains a thin sheet of metal punched with hundreds of tiny holes. Four horizontal rows of tiny cylindrical blades are placed underneath the metal sheet. As the user moves the shaver on his skin, his whiskers enter the holes, whereupon the spinning blades cut them off. Most men prefer foil shavers more than the rotary shavers.

The advantages of electric shavers are the user experiences, fewer cuts in the skin, no ingrown hairs or razor bumps, less pain and redness.

Post Shave Products

These products are designed to return moisture and oils back to the skin after they have been removed through shaving. They help to soothe the face with razor burn and shaving related skin irritations. Some products also have the ability to help heal minor cuts.

If the post shave products seems expensive then the best way to keep your skin smooth is to simply splash cold water on your face to close your pores, pat it dry and finish with a basic moisturiser.
