2/7
Check your razors for any product build-up or dirt before using. Ensure that you are not overusing your razor blades and change the blades regularly to avoid chances of skin infections.

4/7
Never be in a hurry while shaving and avoid using the razor in long strokes. You are prone to cuts and burns.
