Exfoliating would help remove some dead skin, but I'm not sure if it would necessarily help with shaving. I find I get the best shave either in the shower after having the hot water beating down my face for a few minutes, or if I have a wash cloth soaked with warm water held to my face for a few minutes. The warm water opens up the pores, and it softens the hair, and I find it leads to a smoother shave. I read this long ago about shaving the legs, and it's worked well with my face, the times I'm able to do this. |
