To prevent shaving bumps

Submitted by Karen Alexandre

Before you shave, wet your face with hot water. As hot as you can tolerate it. Shaving bumps are caused by shaving over the skin pores when they are closed. Hot water or steam opens the pores. 

Use After shave to close the pores after shaving and use pure cocoa butter and shea butter mix with vitamin E oil.

Razor types Comments By: Jimbo The 'Bump Fighter' shaver has helped clear up my face after shaving and I would highly recommended it. The shave gel also works well. I also agree with the 'wet towel' suggesstion.   Bump fighter razor Comments By: Anon I keep hearing that the bump fighter razor is an effective way of dealing with razor bumps. The only thing is that, in the Uk, it is impossible to get hold of this raozr! Can anyone help? Also, I hear that th euse of glycolic acid is effective in the treatment of razor bumps. Can anyone comment on this?

Try shaving every other day and watch the bumps go away but first let a light beard grow so you can start of fresh. It won't work if you try and shave over bumps that are already there.   No More Razor Bumps Comments By: Murphy This sites advice for African Americans to shave every other day to prevent razor bumps was excellent.

Can you correct this error, which I made when I originally sent it to you) Thank you for printing my suggestion and for solving my razor bump problem   02rifik the new paradigm for complete skin care Comments By: dman I have a product at my disposal that we will be taking to market that will ellimanate razor bumps and acne no mater what you do.

It is a topical anesthetic, anti microbial, anti bacterial. Use as much as you want, no harmful ingredients, no shelf life. It comes in a small spray atomizer (8ml or .25oz). Very simple to use.
