Keeping the razor and blade clean during the shaving process will ensure everything works properly. If you don\u2019t clean the hair and soap out of your razor while you shave, the razor\u2019s edge will be blocked by debris. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nOne simple way to ensure the razor stays clean is to swish your razor in warm water after you make a pass on both sides of the razor \u2014 dip the razor in water after each pass if you\u2019re using a single-edge razor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once your hair is closer to less than an inch in length, go ahead and lather up for a shave. Just make sure to check all of the other tips if you\u2019re still struggling to get your razor to shave!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
