AS recently as one gen- eration ago, the norm was for fathers to pass down shaving tech- niques to their sons, but times have changed.

Many men now learn how to shave on their own, simply through trial and error. In recognition of Father's Day, the Body Shop has compiled this fin and informative shav- ing quiz to help dad achieve the perfect shave.

1. A man should shave as soon as he wakes up. True or False.

False. Relax and enjoy the effects of a good night’s sleep. Wait at feast half an hour before shaving. This allows facial muscles to tighten and the face to lose its puffiness from sleep, and gives whiskers a chance to stand up from the skin so you can get a close shave. It’s also a good idea to be fully awake before dragging a sharp object across the face.

2. It’s good to shave in the shower. True or False.

True. The texture of the beard hair is like that of copper wire, so before shaving, soften the whiskers with warm water. It’s always best to cleanse the skin betore shaving to get rid of surface grime that can block pores and lead to pimples. For the perfect pre-shave, take a couple of minutes to massage

the face with gente soap or -

face wash.

3. Shaving is a natural exfoliator, Bettie men don’t need to exfoliate their

- face. True or false.

False. For a smoother shave and to avoid unnecessary nicks and sore spots, exfoliate before shaving. Dead skin cells can clog the razor and lead to dan- gerous razor drag. Twice a week, try a face scrub with granular. ingredients like ground rice and evening prim- rose oil seeds to exfoliate and smooth the skin.

4. The more shaving cream the better. True or false.

False. The quality of the shave is directly linked to the

quality, pat the volume, of the father.

5. What should be shaved first? a) neck b) chin c) jaw line and cheeks

Answer: Shave the jaw line and cheeks first, where whiskers are the thinnest and progress to the thicker areas. Next, shave the neck and moustache area and finish with the chin. Always shave in the same direction as the natural beard growth.

6. How much time does the average man spend shav- ing in his lifetime? a) 500 hours b) 1,500 hours c) 3,300 hours

Answer: Over 2 lifetime, most men will spend more chan 3,300 hours shaving, giving new meaning to the expression “shaving years off your life.”

7. If you add up the length of the whiskers that a man removes during his life, what would the total lengts be? a) 25ft. b) 50 ft. c) 100 ft,

Answer: In an average lite- time, 2 man shaves off 25 feet of whiskers. Each time he shaves, he also removes up to three lavers of skin.

8. The “toning” or “brac- ing” action of aftershave closes the pores after shav- ing. True or false.

False and unnecessarily painful. The stinging atter- shock of applying an aftershave with a high alcohol content actually diies out and irritates the skin. Instead of using a harsh aftershave, splash the face with warm water and gently par dry with a soft, clean towel.

Then apply a soothing mois- turizer to soften and moistur- ize the skin and help provide a harrier avainst harsh clements such as wind and extreme tem- peratures. Or try 2 soothing gel with ingredients like alo¢ vera gel and allantoin ro soothe razor burn and moisturize the skin.

9. Men have always used more fragrance than women. True or false?
