Eight taboos that men must know about shaving

Shaving every morning is a must for many men. You may be so skilled that you can shave your beard with your eyes closed, but do you really know some taboos about shaving? Let's follow the editor to look at these eight taboos that you must know.

Taboo 1

Do not shave the same beard from different directions. This can easily lead to the beard being shaved too short and forming inverted beards, which can cause folliculitis.

Taboo 2

Don't shave the hair grain. Although shaving the hair grain will make your beard cleaner, it can easily irritate the skin and form ingrown beards.

Taboo Three

Don't shave before strenuous exercise, because sweat can irritate the skin you just shaved and cause infection.

Taboo 4

Never shave right before you shower. Your skin won't be prepared for it, and you're more likely to experience post-shave burning and ingrown beards.

Taboo 5

Do not use a blade that is too old or even rusty. When the blade is not sharp enough, it should be replaced in time.

Taboo 6

Don't borrow a razor from anyone else, and don't lend yours to anyone. Contaminated blades can spread serious skin diseases.

Taboo 7

When shaving with a razor blade, do not over-tense your facial muscles, as this may easily shave off the fibrous roots on the surface of the skin.

Taboo 8

When shaving with a razor, don't shave on a dry beard. If you don't keep your beard moisturized, those razor cuts and bloody pustules will take at least three or four days to heal.
