How I Prevent Shaving Bumps

I love shaving with the razor blade. Shaving with the blade provides me with the smooth shave that I desire. You see I vehemently dislike shaving with shaving powder. I know there bare millions out there who dislike shaving with shaving powder just like I do. Apart from the horrible smell of the shaving powder, I also vehemently dislike the messy nature when preparing it. The worst part of it is that the shaving powder burns my skin. You can now see the reason why I will go for the razor blade for my shaving any day.

However it is a known fact that shaving bumps and ingrown hairs are often associated with shaving with razor blade. I have however avoided shaving bumps. So how have I avoided it? This write up is therefore all about how I have managed to prevent myself from razor bumps and the ingrown hairs associated with the razor.

• I often give my cheek a proper scrubbing before any shave. I prefer taking my bath after shaving. Therefore I moisten my beard by scrubbing it with warm water before shaving. This way, I soften the beard for easy shave. I endeavor not to shave dry.
• I often use a thick shaving cream to further soften the beard. I often work the shaving cream into my cheek for at least 2 – 3 minutes to soften the hair. My favorite shaving cream is Tend Skin Shaving Gel. It is extremely effective.
• I endeavor to shave with the grain of the hair growth of my beard. I do not shave against it to avoid hair growth back into the skin and irritation.
• When shaving I often do not go over the same area more than twice. This is because each stroke removes skin cells which results in unnecessary irritation.
• I do not exert too much pressure on the shaving area because this removes additional surface skin.
• I avoid using dull razor blades. My razor blades are often sharp and I replace them regularly. Dull razor blade increases the chance of hairs tearing away.
• I apply Tend Skin Care Lotion on my cheek regularly to eradicate razor bumps and ingrown hairs even when they occur.
