SHAVING: WET OR DRY?
Hints & Tips
Wet Shave
My mate cuts hair and reckons he knows everything about avoiding razor
bumps. If you’ve got hair clippers, he says, ‘line-up’ your face and that first, then
take a shower and let the water soften the facial hairs. Apply shaving cream, and
let it sit for like two minutes, then, shave with a sharp razor. He only ever uses a
razor twice. Says, “Dirty blades cause infections and only make the problem
worse,” and that the best thing for razor bumps is BUMP STOPPER.
Razor Bumps
Some of you guys out there plagued by bumps should try
an electric shaver. It might just work for you too. Bumps
are ugly and irritating. I used to get painful pus-filled
sores on my face before I converted to dry shaving. Back
then, I thought only white guys dry shaved because
that’s all we see on TV adverts, but it’s good for me and
a lot of other brothers too.
Dry Shave
I can count the number of ‘wet’ shaves I’ve had on one hand. First day, feels
fantastic, it’s when it starts to grow back that I get the ingrown hairs from hell.
Don’t bother with that nonsense anymore. I’m in my early 30s now, but have
long since realised that I can’t wet shave. Instead, I broke the bank and bought
the Mack Daddy of all electric shavers. Only shave once every three days now.
