A Practical Guide Shaving with an Electric Razor

1. Use short, controlled strokes against the direction of hair growth while applying very
little pressure.
Use your free hand to determine the direction your beard is growing and always
shave against it. Failing to shave against the grain will result in a poor shave in terms
of closeness and will likely leave some stray hairs behind.
2. Hold the razor upright to the surface that’s being shaved and adjust the angle
accordingly.
Your electric shaver performs optimally when held at a 90 degrees angle and in
permanent contact with the skin.
3. Use your free hand to stretch the skin for a closer shave.
This will cause the hairs to stand straight and thus be captured by the shaver and will
also make the skin tighter, minimizing the risks of irritation. You can tilt your head
back while raising your chin up when shaving the neck or right below the jaw line.
4. Alter the length and direction of the strokes.
Depending on the direction of the grain and the area that you’re shaving, shorter,
stronger strokes may work better.
5. Flip the shaver upside down.
The shaving head on most foil shavers is tilted towards the front of the shaver. You
can use this to your advantage when shaving certain areas.
6. Always take your time when shaving, be thorough and mindful.

9
 You should also start with the most difficult and irritation horizontal areas, like your
neck. These require more attention and effort, so it’s a good idea to get them out of
the way first.

If for any reason you shave every three days or more, it’s a good idea to trim your
beard with a regular face trimmer before shaving.

24. The text is about how to ….

A. Shave beard appropriately using the electric shaver.
B. Test how well someone use the electric shaver properly.
C. Show the reader the attentive part when shaving the beard.
D. Trim the excessive beard before shaving using the electric shaver.

25. Why should we precede the neck and high risk irritation part to be shaved by stretching
the skin?
A. To get better result on the neck area.
B. To adjust the razor angle on the skin.
C. To avoid sore skin after shaving the beard.
D. To speed up the shaving process on the jaw line.

26. “…These require more attention and effort” (Step 6)

The underlined word refers to ….
A. Start shaving.
B. Stretching the skin.
C. Getting the grain away.
D. Shaving the neck area.

A Trip to the Baliem Valley

Last vacation I decided to do a little adventure by visiting Dani tribe in Baliem valley.
First, I enjoyed the Baliem Cultural Festival at Muliama village about 20 kilometers
from Wamena. The festival lasted in several days. People of Dani were singing,
dancing, and playing their traditional music during the festival. They decorated their
faces with pig grease, clay, ash and fur. They clutched bows, arrows and spears as they
feinted and charged each other. However, no blood was shed-it was all intended only as
a threatening show of force.
When the festival was over, I decided to join a trekking trip to the spectacular villages
of Dani. The trip gave me an opportunity to see the real Dani lifestyle. I saw amazing
wooden bridges across the fast flowing mountain rivers. I also learned that men and
women live in separate traditional houses. Another amazing thing that I noticed was
people with parts of fingers missing as the result of a custom where both men and women
may cut off fingers if bereaved by the loss of loved one.
My eight days visit to Baliem valley gave me a deep impression of the richness of
Indonesian’s culture. (Taken from: Mandiri _ Practice Your English, Penerbit Erlangga)
