5 Common Shaving Mistakes (And How to Avoid Them in Your Barbershop)
Even experienced barbers can make mistakes when it comes to delivering the perfect shave. Avoid these common errors to ensure every client walks out with smooth, irritation-free skin:
1. Skipping the Pre-Shave Prep
A dry shave leads to razor burn and discomfort. We recommend a hot towel, followed by shave oil, and then shaving cream to soften the hair and open the pores.
2. Using the Wrong Razor
The shape of your razor matters, make sure it fits comfortably in your hand to avoid any strain on your wrists, which could lead to an inconsistent shave, not to mention any long term damage!
3. Applying Too Much Pressure
The right touch is key! Pressing too hard causes redness, irritation, and nicks. While going too light could lead to inconsistency. Let the blade do the work for a clean, effortless shave.
4. Not Offering Retail Shaving Products
Your clients love the fresh, smooth feeling after a professional shave—so why not sell them the same products to use at home? Stocking high-quality shaving creams, and pre-shave oils boosts client satisfaction and shop revenue.
