Tips on avoiding razor burn


The most common causes of razor burn, include a number of procedures not being adhered to properly before even showing your skin a razor.

putting too much pressure on the razor as you shave, using an old blunt razor, shaving against the grain of the hair on your skin, not lubricating your skin properly, (imagine a car engine with no oil!)

Most of all before you begin, the key to a painless shave and prevent razor burn is to use plenty of warm or hot water before shaving. Either have a bath, shower or use a hot flannel to soften the bristles and open up the pores of the skin.

Make sure you massage your chosen shaving cream thoroughly into your stubble or beard. Use your fingers or a decent shaving brush.

Slowly, and using short strokes, shave with the grain i.e. in the same direction as the hair growth.

Failure to do so can cause razor burn, redness and rashes. Be especially careful around the neck areas which are particularly sensitive.

Rinse your razor often in hot water.
When you have finished shaving, rinse the shaved area with cool water.

Use the best quality razors with the sharpest blades. As soon as you notice the blade is not performing then replace it, otherwise you'll end up with an uneven shave and cause irritation to your face and neck.

Following this tried and tested approach will ensure a razor burn free and skin friendly experience!


Fast Cure For Razor Burn
Now if all else fails and sometimes it does! Especially with me! There is a lovely little product that has helped me over the years, it has not failed me once, and the main thing is, that it has no alcohol in whatsoever!

It's an aftershave Milk, so smooth and cooling, as well as moisturising, its called D R Harris Arlington Aftershave Milk, and MAN you will thank me!!!
