Shaving Rash: The Routine That Prevents It

Shaving rash isn't bad luck — it's a sequence problem. The prevention routine, step by step:

Before: shave at the end of the shower, not the start — three minutes of warm water softens hair by up to 60%. During: sharp blade (replace after 5–8 shaves), with the grain on sensitive zones, no dry passes, rinse the blade every stroke. After — the step everyone skips: cool rinse, pat dry, and moisturise immediately. Freshly shaved skin has thousands of micro-abrasions; sealing them with hydration is what prevents the bumps that show up next day.

Fragrance-conscious tip: on freshly shaved skin, unscented or lightly scented formulas sting less.

The after-step: Butta Drop — panthenol calms, zero sting.
