What are shaving razors?
Shaving razors are tools with sharp edges used to shave or trim hair.
- Usage guidelines:
- Below are some tips from dermatologists to help you achieve a safe and effective shave:
- It is recommended to wet the skin before shaving to soften the hair as the bladepasses. It is best to shave immediately after a shower, as the skin will be warm,moist, and free of excess oils and dead skin cells that could clog the blade.
- After that, apply shaving gel or foam. If your skin is very dry or sensitive, purchase a shaving cream labeled “for sensitive skin.”
- Glide the blade in the direction of hair growth. This is an important step to help reduce cuts, wounds, and irritation during shaving.
- Rinse the blade continuously after each stroke. For single-use razors, it is preferable to replace and dispose of the razor after 5 to 7 shaves to minimize post-shave irritation.
- If you have acne, it is recommended to try electric shavers or single-use blades to determine which option suits you best.
Use a razor with a sharp blade.
Ensure the razor is completely dry after use to prevent bacterial growth, and store it in a dry area.
