Multiblades + Curly hair = Cutting under the skin level = Welcome to New Bump City.


Single blade razor avoids all of that and is a far better shave overall. I'd never switch back now because once you get the hang of it it actually makes shaving feel nice again and not a chore plus your skin is radiant.

Buy a double edge/safety razor. Get a few different types of blades, find the one that works best on your skin along with a good soap that does the same. The key to all of this is an alum block:

This right here shows you exactly where you're lacking because the places where it hurts your face are where you're messing up your technique and that leads to bumps/irritation.

It might take a bit of time to find the right combo for your skin but when you do there is nothing like it as you look super crisp, face is glowing and its much cheaper that multiblade carts plus you don't get any of this:

Bumps occur due to those multiblades as each pass = 4 or 5 blades scraping against your face and they've got no precision/weight behind them and the tinned gels don't have the same kind of glide as a soap you lather yourself. I wouldn't use one of them setups now if you paid me.

Learn the layout of your face, which way the hair grows where (Alum block, remember?), go with the grain using quality blades/soap and you're good. Anything less is an insult to yourself. If you're bumped up now, grow your struggle beard to let it all heal first and once the skin is cool then do what I said in this thread and you'll see how easy it all is with the right tools.

tend skin...

but also how do you shave? as a black man(assuming you are black, most of the coli probably isnt) you gotta shave with certain types of blades if you not just going electric. and electric can also make people bump up. but i can give you a whole regiment or give you youtube videos if i know what tools you use
I shaved with regular razors when I was younger but the more facial hair I grew as I got older , the worst it got. The electric razors do the same, but without the deep cyst like bumps where you cant get the hair. I'll check out tend skin.

I'm black with hardcore coils (my hair doesnt even retain water moisture after showering)

Im a vet and battled with bad razor burn and scarring before figuring out what worked for me.

first off what blade are you using to shave? if youre using disposables, even the fancier, multiblade ones, STOP. Immediately. Even circular blade trimmers can be rough on black mens face.

I consulted a friend who is a barber and he recommended the following:

and i havent had any major ingrown hairs or massive irritation since

This stuff works wonders for me. I just use it right after I shave and I never get razor bumps now. I just happened to stumble on it in Aruba when they gave me a free sample. It’s kind of expensive so I might wait for it to go on sale, but it’s good for your skin just in general, not just razor bumps, so you’d get more use out of it too.
