Also, when you get out, apply shaving cream to your face, then strop your razor. Reapply warm shaving cream after you strop, and then try shaving.

It really does take a while to soften up those hairs. Until you take a little time and do that, it will tug like nobody's business
I believe Avatar meant to say "before".
