How Do I Shave My Beard Without Having Razor Burns? by Sattors(m): 7:03pm On Jul 16, 2014
I have been using clipper since i started shaving my beard some years ago, dough it does not give me the smooth clean shave i wanted and am also the hairing type which makes me to shave every three days otherwise i will be so uncomfortable after three days.
On several occassion i have tried using shaving sticks, even shaving cream but i always end up having serious burns.
I have decided to start using shaving stick now but my fear is the razor burn. Please guys how do i go about it not to have burn. Pls help!

It is thought that the cause of razor bums is hair driven into fair follicles of the skin during shaving. Now, the hair shaft normally emerges from the skin at an angle, usually not straight which is why when you rub your hand on a hairy skin, it feels smooth on one side and rather rough on the opposite side.

So when shaving, let it be along the smooth side and not along the rough side. The rough side might give you a smoother shave, but it will end up driving hair remnants and bacteria into the skin causing bums (doctors call folliculitis). Good luck.

Seems like you have only two options left, shaving powder or fire.
