< Main subject>
1. The invention of safety razor.
In 1895, summer one person whose name was Gillette was getting a shave rapidly with a sharp blade in some hotel, Boston. At the time, red liquid was flowing throughout his skin and jaw, and he was screaming. The jaw saw cut by a sharp blade. From that time, he began to think out a safety razor whoever can get a shave easily and safely. Actually, he liked to think over and invent something, but he didn't have enough education when he was young, so that he took out many patents although those were not outstanding among people. In that day when his jaw was cut by a sharp blade, he was stimulated by that event and launched to invent a safety razor with self confidence for success. As time went by, one day he watched that a barber was cutting customer's hair with the use of comb. It seemed to be very safe in his thought. After he watched that, he thought that there would be no danger to cut skin if only hair touched a blade pined by two iron plates. So he tried to make a sample, and them it was successful. As soon as he succeed in the invention of a safety razor, he took out a patent and began to produce many safety razors with his friend's help. At the beginning of the business, he had trouble in lack of money and customers' awareness. By the way, as time went by, that safety razor became very popular for men all over the countries. As you know, the Gillette became one of the biggest razor companies in the world.
2. A right method to shave
① Wash your face with warm water before shaving
Many people usually wash their faces or take a shower after they get a shave. But it is much effective that you wash your face or take a shower before shaving. Because it helps you wash effete waste matter including sebum attatched to your beard and mustache. In addition, wet beard and mustache help you get a shave more easily.
② Rub shaving cream or gel on your skin
Using shaving cream or gel is more effective than using a soap because the soap is lack of lubricating capacity. Shaving cream or gel contains lubricating ingredients, so that it decreases friction between razor and skin and protects the skin. When you used up all shaving cream or gel, you may temporarily use a shampoo.
③ Get a shave from weak to strong intensity of hair.
The intensity of cheek's hair is very weak, so that you can shave at first. And them if you shave by turns like face edge, neck, mouth, jaw and mustache you can complete the shaving easily. And it is good way to get a shave to same direction against your hair. If you shave to opposite direction, your skin can be hurt. During your shaving, you have to wash the razor continually with water.
④ Check your face before washing it.
Sometimes, there may be some part that you can omit. Therefore you have to check it definitely with fingers.
⑤ Wash your face with cold water.
cold water helps the skin pores contract and stop bleeding from an injury during the shaving. After all, it makes your skin calm down. In addition, pressing a towel smoothly on the skin is more better than rubbing it after you finish washing.
⑥ Finish all shaving with an after-shave lotion.
In the case of a lotion having much alcohol, it has superior function of disinfection against an injury, but it cans make your skin more dry. On the contrary, a lotion having much oil ingredients can bring about the trouble on your skin. Therefore, it is very ideal to use after-shave products.
