Everyone knows that basically, when you move a razor across your hair, it cuts them. But have you ever really thought about the actual mechanics, what's really involved, as you're shaving? If you have a full understanding of the shaving process, you'll see why the condition of the hair tip is so important, especially when a male is shaving his pubic hair.
When shaving with a wet razor, the blade basically pulls the hair up from the hair follicle, (the skin depression from which the hair emerges), first, and then slices across each hair, ideally, at the skin surface, not just the tip.
This puts a lot of stress on each of the hair follicles, which means a male is irritating the general skin area right away just by shaving his pubic hair. And this stress will be increased if the skin and hair is dry.
TIP: Dry skin means that there are dead skin cells on the surface of the skin. Not only does this interfere with the razor being able to glide smoothly across the skin, but these dead skin cells will be scraped into the follicles as a male is shaving his pubic hair, which will only further aggravate the follicles.
TIP: Pubic hair is coarse and dry hair is tough. This combination makes it much harder to get a clean cut from the blade as a male is shaving his pubic hair. Dry hairs will not only create more pulling on the follicles, which we already know will only further aggravate the follicles, but, even worse, these dry hairs will tend to break more easily.
TIP: There's only one thing that could create even worse tip conditions for a male shaving his pubic hair - Using a dull blade. Because not only will a dull blade pull more on the hair and follicle, but it will only tear the hair, resulting in a ragged, torn tip.
What makes breaking and/or tearing the hair so bad, especially as a male is shaving his sensitive pubic area, is the fact that after each hair is pulled up and then affected by the blade, the tip goes back down into the follicle, under the skin surface.
Okay - So imagine if you will, this unsavory scenario: You have a hair follicle that has been pulled, filled with dead skin cells and taken in a hair that has a ragged, jagged, torn or broken tip. Now multiply this by the number of follicles affected by a male shaving his pubic hair ... Just what do you suppose will happen next?
If you said the follicles will fight back, you'd be right. And whether it happens immediately, or within hours after a male finishes shaving his pubic hair, every tip in every one of those follicles will be trying to make its way back out to the skin surface. And if they have trouble, there will be swelling, redness and bumps.
Now maybe you get the picture why the tip of the hair plays such a large part in the results a male achieves when shaving his pubic hair.
It is possible to counteract these conditions to a great extent if before ever shaving, a male:
1) Trims any long pubic hair with scissors or a hair trimmer - Not dulling his razor's blade
2) Moisturizes, (softens), his hair and skin for at least 5-10 in a hot shower or bath
3) Applies a generous amount of a rich lubricant to further soften his skin and hair, lock in moisture, help keep the hair erect, reduce friction and condition his skin
And -
4) ALWAYS uses a clean, fresh blade in his razor
But honestly, for a male shaving his pubic hair to achieve the smoothest results, the best tip is for him to consider shaving with another tool besides a wet razor.
