Before shaving apply a thin layer of moisturizing oil such as avocado or jojoba. Start shaving in the direction of the hair growth which will prevent any inflammation of the skin. This looks like a long procedure but it hardly takes any time. This after-shave lotion once prepared can be used for more than six months.
