Roxanne Griego, administrator and director of the Arizona Board of Barbers, has been a barber for 32 years and followed her father and grandfather into the profession.罗克珊Griego ，署长兼亚利桑那州局理发师，已成为理发32年后，她的父亲和祖父的职业。 The first step in shaving is to prepare the surface of the skin.第一步是在剃须准备表面的皮肤。 “You want to remove the hair while preserving the skin's integrity,” she says. “你要删除的头发，同时保持皮肤的完整性， ”她说。 “Massaging in the cream or shaving soap plumps up the muscle called the erector pili, which pushes the hair up, kind of like gooseflesh. “在按摩霜或剃须肥皂plumps的肌肉称为竖桩，从而使头发了，有点像鸡皮疙瘩。 This also releases skin-softening oils from underneath the skin.这也新闻稿皮肤软化油的皮肤下面。 What you want is to push the hair up and soften it so you can cut it off in one cold snap.”你想要的是把头发和软化，使您可以剪下它关闭在一个寒流。 “

A lot of people, she adds, don't follow the instructions on the creams or soaps, or the creams and soaps do not have adequate instructions.很多人，她说，不按照指示的面霜或肥皂，或面霜和肥皂没有足够的指示。 You need to heat the skin and then massage in the soap.您需要热量的皮肤，然后按摩在肥皂。 “Work it in, form an emulsion,” she advises. “工作中，形成乳液， ”她建议。

“Shaving in the shower is good,” says David E. Bank, MD, director of the Center for Dermatology, Cosmetic and Laser Surgery in Mount Kisco, NY. “剃齿在淋浴是好的，说： ”大卫E.银行，医学博士，中心主任皮肤科，美容和激光手术基斯科山，纽约。 “Keep the water on the warmer side. “保持水的温暖一方。 You can even put a hot, wet towel over your face for a few minutes — like in those Westerns, where guys sit in the barber chair under a towel.”你甚至可以把一个热点，湿毛巾在你的脸了几分钟-在这些像西部片，在球员坐在椅子上理发下一条毛巾。 “

Bank prefers a gel to a shaving cream.银行宁愿凝胶的剃须膏。 Cheaper soaps lather up and it's the layer of soap next to the skin that counts, not how mounded-up it is.廉价肥皂泡沫和它的一层肥皂旁边的皮肤，计数，而不是如何古梅行动的。 “Gels are more toning,” Bank says. “凝胶更加振奋， ”银行说。

Some people use a badger-hair brush to moisten the cream and spread it around.有些人用獾毛毛笔沾霜和它周围蔓延。 “I say if you like it and it doesn't hurt you, fine,” Bank says of expensive (often British) shaving products. “我说，如果你喜欢它，它也不会伤害你的，可处罚款， ”银行说，昂贵的（通常是英国）剃须产品。 “Remember,” he says, “price does not necessarily translate to better quality.” “别忘了， ”他说， “价格并不一定转化为质量更好。 ”

Griego notes also that barbers cannot use badger-hair brushes because they can hold bacteria that can infect subsequent customers. Griego还注意到，理发师无法使用獾毛画笔，因为他们可以容纳细菌，可以感染以后的客户。 If you use one with an accompanying solid soap, replace the brush when the soap is gone.如果您使用一个附有固体肥皂，刷子取代肥皂时，现在都不见了。
