Q. How often should I shave?
A. Shave as often as needed to maintain a clean shaven look. If you suffer from razor bumps, it's best to shave daily. Regular use of quality products can make this possible.
Q. Which direction should I shave, up or down?
A. You should shave in the direction of your hair growth. Hair grows downward on most men. Do not shave "against the grain". To know the direction, feel the direction with your hands.
Q. What type of razor should I use?
A. While razor bumps are still a problem, you should use a fixed head, single blade razor initially. Once razor bumps are under control, you can switch to a twin blade for a closer shave.
Q. Why use a single blade? Isn't a twin blade better?
A. A single blade should be used, initially, to avoid the pulling of hairs that occurs with a twin blade.
Q. Which is better for my skin- depilatories (chemical shaving) or using a razor? I've heard depilatories reduce irritation.
A. While depilatories do avoid the nicks and scraping associated with razor shaving, the active ingredient in depilatories dissolve the hair follicle and often cause skin irritation. Over time, this actually irritates the skin more than shaving properly with a clean,sharp razor. Shaving with a clean, sharp razor is the healthier alternative for the best men's skin care.
Q. Which system is better, Black Opal or Shaver's Choice?
A. Both systems work very well.Since each person's skin is unique, one may work better than the other for you. But, both work for most men with razor bump problems.
