The next step for a proper way to shave is to apply the lather on
your wet skin. You now are faced with the options of a shaving cream,
gel or some type of soap. These items are used to smoothen and
moisturize the area you are shaving. Shaving without lathering can leave
your skin dry and irritated, and can also result in nicks and cuts. Try
different cream, gel and soap products until you've found one that
you're comfortable with for shaving.
