Beaux Tip: Hey ladies! When shaving in the shower. . .
make sure it is one of the LAST things that you do!
This gives your skin a chance to be softened by the water, thus allowing the shaving experience to be smoother and salubrious for your skin. Also, in order to conserve water, especially in California (due to our water shortage); turn the faucet off while shaving!
