Problem: Article: Moisturizing before and after you shave will help prevent nicks and cuts from occurring in the first place. Taking a warm shower before you shave or washing the area you are shaving with hot water for a few minutes prior to shaving will help keep the razor from dragging on your skin. This reduces the risk of nicks and cuts. This technique is called wet shaving. When you wet shave, use a gentle soap that won't strip away your skin's oils or dry out the skin, which makes shaving even more difficult. Replacing your razor blade regularly will prevent the nicks and cuts that come from shaving with a dull razor. Changing your blade often will also prevent razor bumps and redness, and reduce the growth of bacteria that might lead to infections. Change your blades as soon they seem dull. When the razor drags on your skin or when it feels uncomfortable to shave, this is a good indicator you need to change the blade. Changing your razor after 5 to 10 shaves is one recommended timeline, but it depends on how often you use your razor. Gillette recently revealed that their razor cartridges are designed to last for five weeks. Although it might be tempting to try and save money and time, shaving dry or without gel or cream increases the likelihood of nicks and cuts. Use shaving gel or shaving cream so the razor will glide smoothly over your skin. Hair conditioner also works well as a shave gel or cream, and can be less expensive depending on the brand. Disposable razors with a single blade, while often more affordable, tend to drag on the skin, leading to nasty nicks and cuts. For a smoother shave, opt for a razor with more blades. Most of us don't bother to clean or dry our razor blade after using, but research suggests this increases longevity, and prevents the blade from getting dull, which usually results in bad cuts and nicks. Try these tricks to keep your razor clean and dry: Rinse your razor after use in clean, hot water. On a dry towel or a pair of jeans, wipe the razor in the opposite direction from shaving. This helps get rid of any hair or shaving cream residue that might dull the blades or result in a less than perfect shave. Lubricate the blades after use with olive oil or an oil that won't irritate your skin. You can use a cotton swab to apply a thin layer of oil to the blade. Let the razor air dry, and store it away from water. Handling your razor properly and avoiding a few common mistakes will help prolong the life of your blades. You should avoid: Pressing too hard on the razor, which wears the blade down but also increases the risk of nicks and cuts. Tapping the razor head against the sink or shower can damage the blade edges, shorten the blade's life, and result in nicks and cuts. If your current shaving method continues to cause irritating nicks and cuts, research and experiment with other razor options or other hair-removal methods. To get a smoother shave without the nicks and cuts, many people are turning to more traditional shaving methods with double-edged (DE) razors or straight razors.
Summary: Moisturize the area before and after shaving. Have a warm shower before you shave. Replace your razor blade regularly. Avoid shaving dry. Ditch the single-blade disposable razor. Keep the razor clean and dry. Handle the razor properly. Consider using a different type of razor.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If the spot is small or limited to one area, you may be able to remove it without bathing the cat entirely. Wet the fur by pouring a small cup of water over the spot. You can also dampen it with a wet washcloth. Rub dish soap into the spot. Rinse out by pouring more water over the paint until it has been removed entirely. Towel dry the cat. Hold the cat firmly with one hand to keep them still while you clean. If possible, have another person hold the cat while you wash them. If the cat tries to escape, gently pull them back. If the cat tries to wriggle away or scratch you, you may need to restrain them with a towel. Wrap the towel around their feet and body. Try to leave the painted areas unwrapped so that you can wash off the paint. If your cat is covered with multiple paint stains or if the mess is extensive, you may need to prepare a full bath. Fill a bathtub or sink with a few inches of warm water. As you bring your cat to the bath, pet them and talk to them soothingly. If you have a sink with a spray nozzle, you do not need to fill the sink, but rather, you can use the spray nozzle to wet and rinse them. Put some cotton in the cat's ears before placing them in the bath to prevent water from going inside. Placing a towel or rubber bath mat on the bottom of the basin can help prevent your cat from slipping. This will also give them something to grip onto if they are nervous during the bath. If you're worried about being scratched, you may want to trim their nails before you bathe them. Once the cat is in the bath, wet them by pouring or spraying water over their body. Do not try to wash their head or face. Take the dish soap or a cat shampoo, and massage it into the cat's fur. The paint should start coming loose and running off at this point. Do not use human shampoo, as this can irritate the cat's skin. Do not use any soap on the cat's head or face. If there is paint on the cat's head or face, try to gently remove it with a damp wash cloth. Take a cup or pitcher, and fill it with water from the bath. Starting with the neck behind your cat's head and moving towards their tail, pour the water over their body. Try not to get the cat's head wet. Do this a few times until all of the soap and the paint has been rinsed from their fur. If you have a spray nozzle, you can simply run the water over the cat's fur. If paint still remains after you rinse, try reapplying the dish soap, and wash them a second time. Once the cat is clean, remove them from the bath, and wrap them in a towel immediately. Soak up as much as water as you can with the towel. If you want, you can set a hairdryer to its lowest heat and air settings. Gently blow the cat dry.
Summary:
Remove small spots. Prepare a bath. Rub dish soap into their fur. Rinse out the soap. Dry the cat with a towel.
