Why would you ever put on this face Clippers? Have you noticed after you shave your face with clippers that your skin is dry and ash? This is because when you shave with clippers the clippers Rob your face dry. Even the way you need to use the mower to shave your face goes against how they were intended to be used. When clippers to use on your face, you need to turn back and use them in reverse. They were designed to give you a tight fade and trim your scalp or the nape of your neck. Shaving your face with stripes cut the skin, inflamed follicles and removes moisture. Your face should always be hydrated when you shave, but when you shave with the cut face is completely dry.
In my 30 + years in the barbering and grooming industry, I learned one thing is certain: the brothers are afraid to use a razor. Whether it's an urban legend, or black men are not transmitted the tradition of their fathers electric shaver, or perhaps even the unrealistic belief that razors are the cause of razor bumps and Jack their skin. Whatever the reason, African-American men are shying away from the razor. So here is the real deal on razor.
Finish with Razor myths
You can not get a close shave with a razor
This is absolutely false! You will get the closest shave possible when you use a razor. The razor is able to get much closer to the skin of a mower or electric razor can. You should also make sure you use a multi-blade razor that you change regularly.
Shavers you get razor bumps and damage your skin
It is true that the razor bumps and ingrown hairs, clinically known as pseudofolliculitis barbae, affect up to 80 percent of African-American men. But the fact of the matter is, if you are getting razor bumps when you shave with a razor, and then - I hate to say this is not the razor, it's your technique. The most important thing to know is that you should be shaving with the grain, not against it. Many men have learned to shave against the grain for a closer shave. However, not only to shave against the grain will not give you a closer shave, but it is also a major cause of skin irritation and inflammation, which prevent ingrown hairs and razor bumps.
You have to shave more often if you use a razor if you use clippers
Again, it comes to technique and equipment. The help of a razor blade double or triple and shaving with the grain of the skin will give you a shave that lasts as long as any other method of shaving.
Shavers dry your skin
Sorry brothers, wrong again! In fact razor is an exercise to hydration. What I mean by that? Just think of when you were a kid and you've seen old men in barbershops giving razor shaves. If you do not remember that, just think of the Barbershop movie when Eddie, played by Cedric the Entertainer, preparing to shave his client. What has he done? Old school barbers would lather his face, then put on a hot, damp towel and let the foam into the skin for several minutes. So what does this mean for you to shave at home? Razors should be kept moist and warm. Keep rinsing off the razor in hot water as you shave. When you're done, put on a post-shaving, which reduces the risk of ignition will never happen.
Take direction. The No. 1 mistake is to slide a razor blade against the hair growth. Face mapping determines the right direction and it is essential to my method directional shaving. In general, hair grows down the temple around the Adam's apple, where it changes direction. However, every beard is different and should be mapped and shaved accordingly.
Sharp. Error No. 2 shaving is to use a dull blade. Blades blunted tug hair and cause skin irritation. Choose a st High quality multi-blade
