Whether shaving your chest hair is part of your normal hygiene routine or something that you’re curious about trying, Gillette has the tools and tips to help you get the look and feel that you want.

Shaving Your Chest Hair

Armed with the right tools, like the King C. Gillete Style Master Cordless Stubble Trimmer, shaving your chest is pretty simple. Follow these steps to get great results, every time:

Step 1

Select A Fixed Comb Length

The right comb length on your body hair trimmer can help you tame full, natural growth that hasn’t been touched by a razor for a while – or ever. The King C. Gillete Style Master Cordless Stubble Trimmer comes with three comb attachments (2 mm, 4 mm, 6 mm) for you to choose from.

Trim Your Chest Hair

Trim your chest hair. Trimming the hair before shaving can help prevent clogged blades.

Step 3

Shower

The water will help soften your chest hair (which can be wiry) and make it easier for the razor to glide over your skin. King C. Gillete Style Master Cordless Stubble Trimmer is waterproof so you can trim in the shower.

Lather Up With GilletteLabs Quick Rinse Shave Gel

A good lather helps to hydrate hairs, enhance razor glide, and protect your skin while you shave your chest.

Check For Dull Blades

Blade feeling dull or lubrication strips looking faded? It may be time for you to swap your blade refills

Shave with Light, Gentle Strokes

Attach a Fusion5 blade to your STYLER. Start from the outside of your chest and work your way in. Stretch your pecs as you shave to create an even shaving surface.

Rinse Your Blades Often

Run the blades gently under the faucet every few strokes, both the back and front sides of the blades, and then gently shake excess water off. Do not tap your razor against the sink or wipe against a towel; these habits can reduce the life of the razor by affecting the intricate design of the blade components. Rinsing the blades under running water helps to remove built-up shaving gel, hair, and dead skin.

Be Careful Around Your Nipples.

Go around – not directly over. You can use the fingertips of your other hand to cover your nipples as you shave near them, just in case.

Reapply Shave Gel As Needed

You may find that you need to shave over the same spot in different directions to get a smooth shave. In order to help prevent razor burn on your body, ensure that you reapply shave gel before you re-stroke.

Rinse, Dry, and Moisturize
