tip on shaving for men

Do you use an electric razor? I do and using those stupid little brushes they come with are useless.
So here is my top tip, get what is called a rocket blower, does a great job of getting out the shaver cuttings from the blades.

I use a ½" paint brush instead of the tiny brush supplied with the razor, plus a bit of puff from the lungs. The air blower is not a bad idea though.

I wash just the shaving head under the tap but the rest is done with the brush, even though the body of the shaver is said to be waterproof.

I flip the top up, tip out the shavings, rinse them down the drain. I don't use a brush, rinse the shaver, get it wet at all.

Yeah ... I've got a rocket blower for my camera, but don't want to complicate things by getting shaver dust all over the shop.

They look like artificial insemination things. One step up from a turkey baster.
