I use razors with multiple blades and sometimes dry shave if I just have stubble. Barely need to use shaving cream and I don't use aftershave. I also shave daily. Never get ingrown hairs or ruin my face. Don't have acne problems either. Having straight hair is GOATed.
Because the video got it a bit wrong. Multi-blade razors don't cut just above the skin. They push the skin down slightly and then cut the hair, and the hair ends up under the skin. Straight Razors cut exactly at the skin, and as such don't cause the same issues.
@@cakeyeater7392 If the razors aren't sharp the cut can end up crooked with a bit under the skin and some above leading to the hair growing crooked and not straight
this was so soothing and soulfull bro south Indian songs are gem Songs like these are made in the industry the most and that's why ppl not really like rap and other genr
Bro I just shave with a pocket knife and I use it to either pull/pluck or trim my hairs but if I WERE to use a razor I was still planning on using a straight edge either way. It's old fassioned, classic, and personally, kinda badass.
This is the biggest ad ive ever seen. Ill stick to normal razors. Great invention. People always try to say why they are inferior, but they never give me any problems
I used a straight edged eyebrow razor on my legs lol. I didnt rly learn how to use a straight edge razor but they are pretty damn sharp. The smallest pressure could expose the dermis layer and leave a gaping incision
this happpened to me and after switching to single edge ones it significantly improved razor burns. I now just use single blade razor and aloe vera as aftershave
Hang on a minute, this video is mostly accurate but only one piece of information is inaccurate. Razors can cause ingrown hairs, that’s true, but if you cut the hair above the skin, there’s no way you could get an ingrown hair. But if it’s under the skin, that’s more likely to happen. And true again about cutting the hair at its base, as that’s more likely to reduce these ingrown hairs.
Bruh, the entire reason our current razors exist is because of the fact that it was annoying, as well as straight up dangerous, to use straight head razors. There were literally scores of people who died from accidentally cutting their own arteries, or from the infections they caught from cutting themselves accidentally. In fact, the guy who invented disposable razors in 1901 was King Camp Gillette, an American businessman, who himself was annoyed with accidentally cutting himself all the time with straight head razors. Thus, he devised the design of the disposable razors to give men a much safer and effective method of cutting hairs. Plus, if you end up having ingrown hairs as a result of using a disposable razor, you can either throw your current one away and use a new one, or you can simply pick out those ingrown hairs with another special tool, often called a pair of “tweezers”. In short, don’t do what this guy says; he’s either trolling or he’s a fool that won’t last a year. Just use the safer razor blades, they’re a lot safer.
This is wrong, multiple blades tug the hair and cut it below the surface, that’s why when they regrow it can be under the skin and cause ingrown hairs. Safety razors and single blade razors actually off a less close cut technically, which means hair stays peaked from the skin and just continues to grow above it.
This is false. Straight edge razors and triple blade razors are effectively the same. It's the design of the triple blades and their handles that makes it easier to shave with for most people. Plus the fact they are disposable makes them much easier to keep sharp for the regular person than a fixed edge. Both will shave down to the skin if you take them on a second pass back against the grain (direction of hair growth). If you shave only one pass with the grain with a straight edge, it will still leave stubble. If you don't know how to shave, stick with a triple blade, or electric shaver. There's realistically no reason to have a straight edge at home unless you're into it. -licensed barber
Learning how to use a straight edge razor is one of the most difficult things I’ve ever done in my life. There’s no trick, only trial and error and a lot of pain. But damn I love how smooth my skin feels.
This video explains it poorly, but normal razors usually cut just below the skin because of the multiple blades passing over. Not above. So, the hair can grow crooked right under the skin. Straight razors cut right up to the skin but not under.
@LegendOfKhaos12 The razors with multiple blades can tug the hair with the first blade and begin cutting the same hair that is now elevated with the second and third blades. Then, the hair will retract beneath the skin. This doesn't always happen. If you go slow enough and only use pretty fresh blades you can avoid tugging the hairs. But, that defeats the benefit of these types of razors for many people. Safety razors are a nice middle ground that don't require as much skill as a straight razor. But, that skill might not be something people want to develop and it is frustrating to nick yourself because you were rushing and you have an important meeting (or several) today.
as a white dude ive entered hood barbers and had the dudes stare at me like "wtf why are you here" and then manage to use their mystical straight-edge powers to make me feel a decade younger.
@munjee2 nobody said it was only a hood thing, but many barbers that work in a "hood" area are the OG's, and are usually great at using straight edge razors.
I've read that black men get razor bumps and ingrown hairs more often than men of other races since their facial hair is curlier. If straight razors reduce the prevalence of razor bumps, it would make sense to me that hood barbers use them more often
@@smellypatel5272 because it pulls the hair out first with the first blade, and then cuts with the others. Thats why you get ingrown hairs. Don’t blame me though I just found this out from another comment in this video
Theres another comment w the same question & good replies. My interpretation: Normal razor pushes down the skin, as it passes, to expose more of the hair & cut it with the rear blades. When its done, the skin rises to normal surface level & the hair sinks back into it. Blunt blades can cause crooked cuts which cause the hair to grow at an angle instead of straight & curl under the skin.
@@wolfgang6442i bought mine from Van der Hagen, available in most pharmacies/supermarkets. idk much about safety razors but i quite like my VdH, especially with those shaving cream pucks that you swirl with a wet brush
As a hairy dude who's prior military and had to shave every day, here are some tips. 1. Use an Apricot scrub exfoliate daily. 2. Use a badger hair shaving cream application brush. 3. Use a brand new cheapo disposable razor to knock everything down. 4. Re-apply shaving cream w/applicator brush 5. Use a shick quatro to finish. 6. NEVER dry shave, always use shaving cream. 7. Use a Very hot terrycloth after and steam the freshly shaved areas. 8. Then take a shower after. 9. Use a small amount of after shave. It took me a while to get this figured out. I had a shaving waiver to shave every other day due to the irritation i got from shaving every day. My neck developed terrible ingrown hairs and the pimples they made would break and bleed all over my uniform's collar, it was ruining my uniforms. Once I had a proven strategy down, I could shave daily.
@md100yearsago2 after shave typically has alcohol in it and disinfects any cuts from shaving, or razor burn you might have. Also it smells nice and the ladies love it.
For my sensitive skin, both of them sucked. The basic razor had too many blades, the single razor was cutting to close to the face. Trimming is the best option for me
This can also be done with safety razors Fun note, straight/safety razors are MUCH cheaper to use in the long run then the multi blade/ dosposable razors.
I bought my first safety razor real cheap, and I still use it. I love it, not only because the blades can be replaced, but also because it's that much easier to clean when you can just open the thing up.
yes i used a safety razor for a while because it's cool and better for skin/avoiding ingrown hair and extremely cheap compared to cartridges now i use an electric shaver for ~$35 and like that now, very convenient and easy you can shave wet or dry, clean or put on the guard to use it as beard trimmer. probably won't need to replace the blade so in my mind the options are safety or electric and I dont want to bother with shaving cream or worry about technique or replacing dull blades
