]]> 4724 3 53 Tip If you don’t have a few minutes to spare, just wet your face directly with warm water. It’s better than nothing.

]]> 4725 4 58 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/276/58.jpg Check the blade Check to see if the blade on your razor is fresh. If not, replace it. Shaving with a dull blade increases your chances of cutting yourself.

]]> 4733 11 130 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/276/130.jpg Check your face Check to see if you missed any spots on your face, especially just under your jaw line. If so, go back and shave them. You may want to reapply some shaving cream.

]]> 4734 12 139 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/276/139.jpg Rinse and dry face Rinse your face with cool water and remove any remaining shaving cream, then pat your face dry with a towel.
