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:)
What is the best trimmer to buy. Many say a good sharp one, but a name would help. I have super curly hair and haven't found a solution yet for my face, thanks!
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.
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!
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)!
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?
My experience with these type of electric razors are that they will cut very close. If there is a way to use them while avoiding a cut that makes the hair fall beneath the skin then give it a go!
I have not tried that electric razor, but I have heard from other videos it seems to give a close shave. I'm not sure how friendly it is with curly hair though and preventing razor bumps
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'm glad the video was helpful! Still using the same technique that i mentioned in this video. However, I have heard of doing something called "zero gapping" your clipper blade so that it cuts shorter. I have not done this myself, so I can't give any advice/ recommendations on it. But it may be something you could look into if you are looking for a closer shave. Just be careful as it may increase your risk for cuts/knicks
While my hair isnt as curly as Joseph's I do get razor bumps all the time. Whats worked amazingly well for me has been the Philips Oneblade. That thing is awesome. It gets my shave about as close as possible without the hair going under the skin. The shave is nice and clean, when using it I apply very little pressure and it comes out looknig great.
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
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
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!!! 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!!
Using any sort of brush or exfoliating device that will help remove ingrown hairs will help! That and allowing enough time to pass without shaving will give the his skin the opportunity to heal on its own
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
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
It’s a little different when you’re a Black Soldier that has to shave everyday…I’m in the medical field and have been to multiple military shaving classes and after 8 years I still struggle with Razor bumps the closer I shave it’s a curl pattern thing not a “I know how to shave and you don’t thing”
@@Clark1748bro it gets worse,once your out and let your hair start growing and finding your facial hair style. Once I got out I started growing it and would style it to fit my facial structure. It’s not until then that I started getting razor bumps. I just turned 25 and it’s my first time finally growing out facial hair.

@@PERRYDAEZIOUH the cut buddy has a good line of trimmers

Do you know the reason why cold water is best for rinsing the razor?
I do the same thing. And I shave with safety razors and straight razors. I use a shaving brush and artisan shave soap. The good shit son
@@magnoliamike so what all to do to not get it use a soft brush and just rinse the razor with cold water ?
This deserves more view. Good job, my dude
Thank you man! I'm glad you found the video helpful
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.
Thank you! I'm glad you found this video helpful

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.
You should be able to find all 3 products on amazon!

Just use a Highproof razor or Leaf Thorn razor forget the other razors.
And just come back to me
I really appreciate the video, and I just wanted to say that you have a really soothing voice.
absolutely agree!

Bump Patrol aftershave should do the trick for ya!
Does anyone have experience with Babyliss Clippers or Magic Shave Powder? They both have good reviews.
While my hair isnt as curly as Joseph's I do get razor bumps all the time. Whats worked amazingly well for me has been the Philips Oneblade. That thing is awesome. It gets my shave about as close as possible without the hair going under the skin. The shave is nice and clean, when using it I apply very little pressure and it comes out looknig great.
Great video, gonna buy on of these exfoliators right now
U got a good voice and a friendly face, make more videos
I appreciate the support, I'm glad you found this video helpful!
Just use a Safety Razor or a Leaf Thorn single-blade razor or Highproof
Interesting video

Do you use soap or nothing on the brush. Where can I get one.
I normally use the brush with either soap or just warm water. And the brush should be available on amazon!
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
I'm glad you found the video helpful, I hope some of these tips work for you!
Lowkey kinda look like 2014 FHD J Cole 😭
Thank you man!
Lol! Joseph Cole...
More like nickeil Alexander walker

Try using alcohol after you use a shaver and disinfect
Bump Patrol is a cheat code
Does it goaway
This method will hopefully help you get rid of razor bumps!

There's not much you can do except for exfoliate more than usual. Also scarring the skin very lightly will help remove the bumps.
Using any sort of brush or exfoliating device that will help remove ingrown hairs will help! That and allowing enough time to pass without shaving will give the his skin the opportunity to heal on its own
Thanks for the video, very helpful
No Problem, glad it was helpful!
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
Clean it up
Loved the video. Thank you
very helpful thanks
Preciate you Joseph.
Awesome thank you!
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
Alphabetical order from top to bottom......Your welcome 👍🏿
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
The only thing that has worked for me is just letting my hair grow out for a month then my ingrowns go by itself
The brush helps the in-growns heal more quickly by removing the hairs to reduce inflammation and irritation
Can you please share the links to the shavers you use? ThNk you in advance
You should be able to find them both on amazon!
Great video
I can’t even use andis for my face. Magic shave everyday is the only solution and I better not miss a day 😢
Thanks
Thanks G
y'all need a oneblade
Thank-you 🙏🙏🙏💯
Give Bump Patrol a shot, Should do the trick for you!
