Additional tip for new guys.....

[andyjreid]

Every now and then I have one of these moments where I change something then all of a sudden it's like "Why the hell didn't I do this before?"

Well a while back I made a point that after every shave, my face would priority one. I used to shave then leave cold water on my face while I cleared/cleaned up etc.

I've stopped that and gone straight onto applying aftershave splash/gel/balm etc right after a cold water splash and my face has never been better.

So as well as all the additional beginners guides here my tips are...

1. Patience
2. Water Water Water
3. When it comes to lather it's better to have too much than too little
4. Face comes first

Interesting. I always leave water moisture on my face before applying aftershaves. It makes for easier application of the balm/splash.

I do leave my face a little moist but it was more about the time between a cold water splash and aftershave application.
