Based on the provided reference, here's how someone typically shaves their beard using foam:
- Use a fresh blade: Start with a new razor blade for a clean and comfortable shave.
- Apply Shaving Foam: The reference doesn't explicitly mention applying foam, but it's implied as the question is about shaving with foam. Thoroughly coat the areas of your beard you intend to shave with a good quality shaving foam. Make sure the foam covers all the hairs for optimal lubrication and protection.
- Start Shaving: Begin shaving, using short, gentle strokes. The reference mentions varying the shave order, but typically people start with easier areas and work their way down to more sensitive regions.
- Shave Cheeks First (Typically): A common starting point is the cheeks.
- Work Downwards: After the cheeks, continue shaving downwards, carefully navigating the contours of your face and jawline. Rinse the blade frequently to remove accumulated hair and foam.
- Rinse and Repeat: After the initial pass, rinse your face with cool water. You may need to reapply shaving foam and shave against the grain for a closer shave, but be mindful of potential irritation.
- Post-Shave Care: After shaving, rinse thoroughly with cool water and apply a moisturizing aftershave balm or lotion to soothe and hydrate the skin.
