I hate being overly PC as much as anyone…but seriously, people have to get away from describing all black people as “African American”. A black man who was born in the UK is not an African American, but will be more susceptible to razor bumps. I know everyone reading this article gets the point, but it’s a matter of recognizing heritage. And everyone cares about their heritage.

I have been shaving in the shower for many years, without creams or foams or soaps. The recommendations of shaving with the grain (against the grain later, if you wish for a closer shave, for a speciall occasion), short strokes, cleaning after each stroke are things I also follow.

For me, though, shaving in the hot shower is what really does the trick.

Then, proceeed to finish the ritual by implementing the James Bond routine … brrrrr ….. ahhhhhhhhh.

Good article, but I would suggest that people stay far, far away from cortisone creams. While they are really good at decreasing inflammation and redness, prolonged use will cause thinning of your skin which can lead to infection and other problems – even sagging and tearing.

Take Care!

I use Bronner soap when I shower, and afterward give my face another lathering with Bronners. Gives me the s-m-o-o-t-h-e-s-t shaves. I am 64 years old.

For us middleaged dudes, the corollary to shaving the face seems to be dealing with other wild stray hair in the vicinity like on the ears.. what is the best way olde skool to groom that, a little hot wax or sugaring?
