Men’s shaving Problems and Solutions


Many men suffer from skin damage caused by daily face shaving. Sharp razors not only remove dead skin cells but also leave your skin very tender, which can take days to recover. However, due to the rate of hair growth most men have to shave daily to maintain a smart appearance. The daily process of shaving simply exacerbates the problem, causing new damage to already damaged skin. Many men end up with unsightly shaving bumps and painful razor rash, all of which can be treated if using the right products.

Are you using the correct shaving product?

We have tried and tested countless products. While many give a great shave, they may not help someone who has a problem shaving. As the face is SO important, the first recommendation would be to use a natural shave cream and if possible one that contains truly beneficial ingredients. One such product is Ultra Shave – a  3in1 natural shave + healing  Shaving Cream , made from Grape Seed Oil. Grapeseed oil is  a light, delicate natural oil and potent anti oxidant with anti-ageing properties (Grape Seed Oil has up to 15,000 times more anti-oxidant value than Vitamin E).  All of this means that your skin will heal super fast. The best thing about Ultra is that it can be used a moisturizer as well, saving you money in the long run, plus gving you the best care. Apply it generously to problem areas, especially concentrating on areas of soreness. Ultra Shave vastly accelerated skin healing and after a weeks use will literally make your skin glow. This is itself will result in more elastic, younger looking skin. It works to fade scarring too!

Ultra Shave is the result of 8 years of Research by a leading Lubrication Engineer and combines space age lubricants with natural oils for a cool, close and comfortable shave while moisturising and conditioning the skin.  Ultra shave 3 in 1 is a Shaving Cream lubricant (applied before shaving with no need to wet the skin), a soothing aftershave lotion and a top quality moisturiser so if you have sensitive skin, cut easily, suffer from razor burn or simply want a smoother shave, then Ultra Shave is a perfect solution.

While Ultra is a dry shave, there are others if you prefer wet shaving. Total Shaving Solution (TSS) is another amazing and affordable product containing Grape Seed Oil, lavender oil and other natural oils which give a super smooth wet shave.  Just a few drops of TSS, plenty of water and a razor is all you need for a super-smooth shave (you don’t need any other shaving creams or gels) with no discomfort, nicks, cuts, red raw skin or razor burn. The Jason All Natural After Shave Tonic Beard & Skin Therapy is certified organic and soothes skin with Aloe Vera Gel, Chamomile and Comfrey Extracts. This Jason tonic also has UV protection against the sun’s harmful rays.  

After shave problems?

Shaving can be tiresome but when shaving causes skin irritations, rashes, ingrown hairs and razor bumps it can be really uncomfortable.  Unsightly razor bumps and red rashes are an embarrassing problem that men have to face everyday.  There are now a number of affordable and easy to use, quality shaving products for sale online specially designed and formulated to combat shaving irritations. 

The original formula and best soothing after shave gel is Priva (Power) Shave which comes with a 100% satisfaction guarantee promising that Priva Shave will make shaving trouble free and banish razor bumps, red shaving rashes, discoloration and ingrown hairs.  Priva Shave Gel can be used on the face, back and all areas of the body.  Applied directly onto the skin straight after hair removal (by shaving, plucking, waxing or other methods of hair removal) the anti-inflammatory /anti-irritant system blocks the introduction of bacteria into broken skin and eliminates inflammation that leads to razor bumps, shaving rash and ingrown hairs along with swelling, itching and discoloration.

There are other gels and lotions available to sooth and get rid of unsightly and uncomfortable shaving rashes such as Tendskin, but Priva Shave Gel is the original formula developed after a decade of research by pharmacists, internationally recognized for its quick, effective results and with a long shelf-life giving best value for money. Most importantly, Priva Shave will not dry the skin like other rival products, as it contains chamomile oil.

Ingrown Hair Treatments like Kalo by Nisim, reduce and help remove ingrown facial hair which causes redness, razor bumps and skin irritations.  Kalo Ingrown Hair Treatment is very effective at treating existing ingrown hairs and should be applied after shaving and left to soothe skin. Occasional exfoliation can help to reduce the incidence of ingrown hairs.

Something to make beard hair softer?

Nisim also produce the Kalo post shave lotion or spray which inhibits and reduces hair re-growth by targeting hair in the initial growth (Anagen) stage of development so that each time you shave and use Kalo less hair will grow back.  After using Kalo hair growth inhibitor for about six months hair re-growth can be reduced by up to 50%.  Kalo can make a big difference and mean a lot less time and effort spent on shaving and hair removal from the face and any other parts of the body such as the chest, back or pubic area.

Tools:

Traditional, basic shaving products like talc, shaving brushes and razors are now available in advanced formulas and ergonomic designs to make shaving a pleasurable experience.  The Clubman Shave Talc is superb for dry shaving and absorbs moisture (perfect for oily or sensitive skin, susceptible to rashes).  The revolutionary new shaving brush with synthetic bristles by Men-U is easy to clean, environmentally friendly and needs much less shaving cream for a rich foamy lather than old-fashioned shaving brushes.  Modern technology brings us hi-tech electric and rechargeable razors for faster, closer shaves such as the Remington RS4883 2TCT Foil Shaver and Seiko Cleancut which are easy to use and clean. The Seiko Cleancut in particular shaves very well given its rounded shape. Ensure you buy from a reputable dealer and not where it is the cheapest!

Men are realising that shaving can be hassle-free and by using a combination of specially designed shaving products, embarrassing and uncomfortable stubble, redness, rashes, bumps and other problems can now be eliminated forever.  

Note, none of these products are tested on animals (unlike the more well known brands in the supermarket) . if you care about your skin and environment, take a positive step and try these products. (see peta.org)
