(1/4) > >>

dexter:
hey guys need advices on this issue that i have


i shave my chin n face everyday as my facial hair grows very fast, the problem is i get pimples n bumps around my shaving area..


heres my shaving routine every morn after waking up

1) using towel with hot water to soak my chin (shaving region) for about 3 mins

2) apply gilette shaving foam

3) using gilette fusion shaver to shave. sometimes i shave a area more than once cause it isnt propely shaven
     i change my blade every 2 weeks

4) washing with cool tap water

5) apply moisturing cream


is there anything wrong with my routine? could it be because i shave a area more than once?

parksie:
Try looking for a 2 blade razor such as the sensor excel. Shower first then shave if possible. Also try shaving every-other-day because you are just causing more irritation going over the already irritated skin

Magoo:
What your doing all sound good. The only things I can say that might help are :
 1) Don't save against the grain if you are.
 2) Try using witch hazel as an after shave.
 3) There is a razor sold , called " The Bump Fighter" you may want to give it a try.

 Bumps are generally caused by the hair being cut below the skin level.
 This sometimes causes the hair to grow back into the skin, instead of growing up and out. Also skin irritation can be another cause.

Grow a beard. >:D

Smooth_Operator:
Soak (or rinse) your razor in rubbing alcohol or hydrogen peroxide before using it.  If I use the same razor twice without sterilizing it, I break out as well.  All of the other advice is sound, too... so you can either be scientific about it and eliminate the reasons one by one or try a bunch of things and hope for the best.  Or just grow that beard.  ;)
