Presented by mens skincare brand The Art of Shaving, new comedy Mansome premiered May 9 in Los Angeles. Directed by Morgan Spurlock and produced by actor-comedians Will Arnett and Jason Bateman and Electus founder Ben Silverman, the film deals with the increasing pressures of what it means to be a man in today’s world – expressed through the varying grooming methods different men adopt. But of course, not all mens grooming and skincare needs to be a total pain – figuratively or literally speaking. And in honor of the film’s release, The Art of Shaving provides 4 Elements of the Perfect Shave to look and feel your best and spare yourself the razor burn – and it all starts with the right products!

a. Prepare: To soften the beard and provide protection
Apply The Art of Shaving Pre-Shave Oil before shaving to provide a protective barrier and improve razor glide. Always use hot water while shaving to soften the beard and open pores. For the best results, shave after or during a hot shower.

b. Lather Up! For a close and comfortable shave. Try The Art of Shaving’s Unscented Shaving Cream.

c. Shave: With a good handle and proper technique
Dip a clean, sharp blade in hot water. Using gentle pressure, shave with the grain of your beard. Notice that the hair may grow in different directions. For a closer shave, re-lather and shave gently against the grain.

d. Moisturize: To revitalize and soothe dry skin
After shaving, rinse with cold water and pat dry. Use The Art of shaving After-Shave Balm, formulated with shea butter and jojoba oil to revitalize and soothe dry skin after shaving.
