THE 10 COMMANDMENTS PREVENTING OF INGROWN HAIRS: 1. THOU SHALT NOT USE DIRTY BLADES! Using a blade that's been used way too many times. Yes, this one may be obvious, but be sure to keep your used tools as clean as possible. Soap and rubbing alcohol will destroy bacteria. 2. HONOR THY DELICATE SKIN! Too many blades! If you are prone to ingrown hairs then you don’t need 3 or more blades. More blades equal more passes causing the hair to fall beneath the skin and become ingrown plus more blading the skin leads to micro cuts through which bacteria is more likely to enter and this leads to razor burn. 3. DO NOT TAKE PREP TIME IN VAIN! You should be using a warm/hot water prep (3-5 mins). Then leave the shaving cream on for more than 2-3 minutes to really soften the hair. The hair stubble should literally fall away with little or no pressure at all. Pressing hard is the problem! Be gentle ya'll. 4. THOU SHALT NOT GO AGAINST THE GRAIN! Shaving against the grain. Shave in the direction of hair growth (usually down, but perform a face/ body map to be sure) Inspect your hairy self and notice the way the hair grows. 5. THOU SHALT NOT PRESS! Pressing too hard on the skin with the blade. A gliding, light touch is all you need. This is likely your biggest issue. 6. THOU SHALT NOT PASS, PASS, PASS! Too many quick passes with the blade. One pass per hairy area - going 1-2 inches downward at a time - will prevent ingrown hairs. Always shave like you might cause damage, not like your mowing the front yard lawn. 7. THOU SHALT NOT COMMIT OVER SHAVING! Shaving too many times. This rule is hard to follow, especially if you have to shave for your career but if you are prone to ingrowns, try shaving with an electric clipper. The results are not super close but no one but you will know the difference. Ladies, try waxing. 8. THOU SHALT NOT CLOG! Use of skin/pore clogging creams or lotions. These keep hairs from growing up. After a shave, keep your skin bare; let the tiny army breath, and allow those newly shaved, really small, microscopic hairs to grow out just in time for the next shave. If your objective is smooth, bump-free skin following a shave or wax, then right after your goal should be to allow the skin to heal first. promote healing by proper shaving techniques followed by subtle rubbing alcohol (this kills any bacteria that my enter those micro cuts created from the shave) . Then after a few hours let the moisturizing commence! 9. KEEP THY SMOOTH SKIN FREE! At least for the first day or two, try to avoid tight fitting clothing around the Adam’s apple (neck) and/or below the waistline region. Newly shaved hair follicles need room to raise up. 10. REMEMBER TO EXFOLIATE! Not enough exfoliation to remove excess layers of skin causes ingrown hairs. Use an ingrown hair brush for razor bumps as directed. Make sure it’s a brush that has special bristles designed to tease newly shaved hairs away from entering the skin before they can become ingrown. If you have sensitive skin, then go with the soft and firm bristles.Try a Wizker brush and you’ll prevent razor bumps and ingrown hairs permanently! HUGS:)

If you use a razor you’re supposed to rinse the razor with cold water you only use warm water on your face before you start shaving rinsing your razor under cold water will prevent razor bumps and razor burn.

This deserves more view. Good job, my dude

This is the best video I’ve watched. I’m trying to find solutions for my brother. I love the explanation. Thoroughly explained. Thank you.

I really appreciate the video, and I just wanted to say that you have a really soothing voice.

Appreciate the effort in making this. 3 years after upload, helpful

Lowkey kinda look like 2014 FHD J Cole 😭

Man I’ve been wanting a goatee for a while, l feel like this may finally be the video with someone who has bumps like mine, thank you so much

thanks for this video man (joseph). I have the silver Andis slimline pro too! i'm glad it was the thumbnail for this video otherwise i might have skipped over your video. Great content and explainaation ... your very easy to watch, calm and articulate. Especially for a 10 minute video, this video felt concise and to the point. Blessing g (Joseph)!

Brilliant, Thanks very much. I never knew of the exisitence of such brushes, it sounds like a genius idea. I really appreciate your overall open and honest advice, cheers!

Hey man just want to let you know that this video has been the only thing that’s worked for me. I used the whisker brush and the electric trimmer u recommended. My only complaint is that it doesn’t get the hair quite as short as I would like. I was wondering if you have any updates on your shaving routine that you’ve changed or improved. Thanks again, this has helped so much!

I was hoping that you will leave links to the products that you basically showed on the video. Hopefully you can do that in the post of yours.

Thank you for the unsponsored content! I appreciate the wisdom you're passing down to men with curly hair that can't be shaved with a traditional razor blade. I am ordering the exfoliating brush with a foil electric razor, I hope this is what I need to finally get rid of or at least significantly reduce my ingrown problem. How do you feel about the Braun series 9 electric razor?

Great video, gonna buy on of these exfoliators right now U got a good voice and a friendly face, make more videos

Just use a Safety Razor or a Leaf Thorn single-blade razor or Highproof Interesting video

Everyone skin is different I have sensitive skin I hate going through different shavers to find what’s best that won’t cause razor bumps with a dry shave. Tend skin is helpful but I believe I out used it so I guess I need after shave treatment

Thanks for the video, very helpful

One thing ima do this time around this time is first take a shower and then comb out the hair and use the electric trimmer on my chin and neck and if so ill use a number 2 guard for a proper clipping and once done wit all that ill wash my face wit cold water then apply post shave alcohol on the areas i had shaved off oh and i intend to buy a saftey razor as well soon

Shave with a safety razor or straight razor . Use a shave brush made from silvertip badger hair, get yourself some good pre-shave, get some good artisan shave soap and your all set

Do you still use the Andis foil shaver? and does it cause razor bumps for your?

The only thing that has worked for me is just letting my hair grow out for a month then my ingrowns go by itself

Loved the video. Thank you

THANKS FOR THE VIDEO!!! asking for my newly joined navy sailor. the multi blade razor they gave my baby tore his face up and he eventually was approved for the no shave option but had to shave again for graduation. what should he use in the meantime to help his skin to heal and return to normal with no bumps? thank you!!

Do you use soap or nothing on the brush. Where can I get one.

I can’t even use andis for my face. Magic shave everyday is the only solution and I better not miss a day 😢

Where did u get that whisker Bush from? When I got to TBD barber and get a fresh cut and trim by facial hair I got no razors bump but when I trim my face at home with my clippers I get bumps I don't get why

very helpful thanks

In which order do you do these things? And when you shave with the razor so you shave up or down? I’m 16 and I have this problem, my razor bumps are bad. But I have a feeling this will work

Preciate you Joseph.

Great video

Does it goaway

Awesome thank you!

Wish i had this advice when i was 13, started using those gilete razors and damaged my skin because i didnt know what to do after i shaved it.under my neck has dark spots now

Safety razor solved it for my beard area. now my problems is the back of my neck when I go to the barber it fking sucks

Can you please share the links to the shavers you use? ThNk you in advance

Thanks G
