Clean Shave IQ: how it works
Ten questions about shaving, beards and men's skin. Score yourself and see why every missed answer matters. It is part of the free men tools on Natural Knows, and it runs in your browser: no sign-up, and your answers stay on your device.
Each play draws 10 questions from a bank of 20, and the answers are shuffled, so the tool feels new when you come back. After the last question you see your score and a short explanation for every answer you missed.
Three questions from the bank
- The best time to shave is… After a warm shower. Warm water softens hair and opens the skin up for a closer, gentler shave.
- Shaving with the grain means… Following the direction the hair grows. With-the-grain passes cause less irritation and fewer ingrown hairs.
- A blunt blade causes… More pulling, nicks and irritation. Change blades often; a sharp blade needs less pressure.
