while you do that I'm gonna change the
music to something I don't know a little
more smooth for today's subject yeah
that should do it
razor bumps what are they they're the
result of your hair growing back the
wrong way when your hair starts to grow
back which is almost immediately after
you shave the hair can sometimes curl
back in your skin instead of growing
straight out
this causes raised red bumps on the skin
they're an eyesore and the edge works
yet those bumps can often look like
pimples if they become infected what
causes them there are a number of
factors that can cause razor bumps one
is genetic if you have thick curly hair
you're about 50% more likely to
experience a problem other factors are
all related to the shades itself one of
the main culprits is not properly
preparing the skin in hair for the shave
another cause is the blade itself
today's multi-blade cartridge razor uses
a principle called hysteresis otherwise
known as lifting cut technology the
first blade is designed to tug on the
hair well the other blade or many other
blades cut it as the razor passes the
hair then retracts back under this game
curly hair or blockages of the follicle
may not allow the hair to exit the skin
properly causing a bump the best way to
treat razor bumps is to prevent them
from occurring obvious right and it is
possible start with a hot shower to
soften your skin in hair or at least
splashing your face with warm water
doing so will not only help remove pore
clogging dirt and debris but it also
makes the hair 25% more elastic and
easier to cut
you also want to use a good shape rock
like creme Oh shave cream this provides
the most ideal surface for the blade to
glide over smoothly read the directions
use sparingly and be sure to let the
shave cream settle in on the skin for a
minute or so before you start some
people find it beneficial to use an
exfoliation product about once a week
which is fine
just be careful over exfoliating can
actually irritate the skin so polish
carefully fellas
be sure to change your blade every three
to five shapes better yet consider using
a razor with a single blade there are
several models available and it's easy
to find a high-quality classic double
edge safety razor yeah like the one your
grandpa probably used now that's how to
shave like a jump
[Music]
no matter what razor you use the way you
use it can dramatically affect the way
your skin looks and feels after a shave
first and most important understand how
your hair grows hair on the face often
grows in several different directions
and different areas to see how yours
grows lightly rub the tips of your
fingers along your face in different
directions you will find that it feels
smoother from one direction and rougher
from other directions the direction that
feels the smoothest is referred to as
the grain of the beard do yourself a
favor and make a sketch of your face
with arrows showing the grain on each
part always shave with the grain of your
beard if you feel you need a closer
shave quickly rinse with warm water real
either then shave across the grain if
you're plagued with razor bumps never
shave against the grain
not press down on the razor or over
stretching the skin as you're shaving
ideally you want to make sure the skin
is just taught enough to flatten the
skin for a nice even cut also make an
effort to shave efficiently
do your best to not repeat the exact
same stroke over the exact same spot
again and again it's pretty simple if
there isn't any lather in an area don't
shave them after shaving it's important
to rinse with a generous amount of warm
water just to remove any lather residue
which might remain on the skin and clog
pores then rinse with cool water and
apply a small amount of push a ball
applying balm while the skin is wet will
not only help hydrate the skin but will
also cover more evenly
