Do I really need cream or gel to be well shaved?
Yes, they help give you a more comfortable shave. Applying a cream or gel before shaving moistens your skin and softens and lifts hairs for easier shaving.

How long can I use the same shaver?
This varies according to your skin and beard type, but on average, you should be able to use your shaver for about a week. Some people will have to change their shaver every couple of shaves, while others can get up to 15 shaves from one shaver. A denser beard can cause the blades to dull more quickly, while lighter, finer hair has less impact on the blade.

What is the ideal direction for shaving?
You should always shave in the direction of hair growth (not against the grain). Shaving in the opposite direction may inflame and irritate your skin. Remember to shave carefully with short, controlled strokes in hard-to-reach areas.

Is there a fundamental difference of shave between single-blade, twin-blade, and triple-blade shavers?
If you suffer from razor bumps or ingrown hairs (Pseudofolliculitis Barbae or PFB), Dermatologists recommend using a single-blade shaver, such as the BIC Classic Sensitive Shaver™. If you are free of skin problems, use a sharp single, twin, or triple-blade shaver to get a close shave, such as the BIC® Comfort Twin, BIC Twin Select Sensitive Skin™ Shaver, or the BIC Comfort 3™ Shaver.

How can I prevent my skin from feeling dry after shaving?
Avoid using soap for shaving, as this can dry skin. Apply a shaving cream or gel before shaving to soften skin and lift hairs. After shaving, apply a moisturizing cream to lock in moisture.

I have some sensitive spots on my face. How can I avoid them while shaving, when the shaving cream covers them up?
Consider using a “transparent or translucent” shaving gel that is available in some countries.
