Best way to avoid cutting myself when shaving?

Best way to avoid cutting myself when shaving? Generally, I use a gillette mach 3 razor to shave my facial hair. I love the razor, it works great, but my problem is I get little nicks & cuts 80% or more of the time. As a result, I only shave 2 or 3 times a week at most, because I don’t like cutting myself.

However, my wife loves it when I’m clean shaven, I just don’t want to hurt myself. Any ideas on how to avoid the damage?

Here is an article on how to avoid shaving discomfort. This topic is a little out of my league lol

Also look for products from nivea, I’ve heard their men’s skin care line works wonders! http://www.niveausa.com/frameset.php

Use a hot (not so hot it feels like it’s burning) towel on your face or stand in the shower and let the hot water soften the facial hair. Use a good shaving cream and a new razor and go WITH the grain of the hair. Going against the grain is thought to give a closer shave, however it’s more irritating to your skin, and your facial hair will be the same length at the end of the day, so put yourself through the trouble ?

While not a man i have had to shave lots of them at several points in my life. If you can take the shaving cream off a baloon without popping it in theory you can shave your own face.

Also tho remember exactly HOW sharp a NEW blade is, so you may still nick or cut yourself, lso be careful of the curves of the jaw line, the adams apple and the upper lip areas
