Top Tip On Shaving The Genitals

The top tip on shaving the genitals is that you should ALWAYS use a clean, fresh blade in your razor EVERY TIME you shave.

The last thing you want to do is put a used blade against this sensitive skin. A used blade will have bacteria built up on it and when shaving the genitals, it will be able to get into and infect the hair follicles, (the skin depressions from which hairs emerge). Which spells total disaster, in the form of swelling, redness, and bumps that will be more likely to become infected ingrown hairs.

Almost as bad as shaving with a used blade, putting a dull blade against this sensitive skin will definitely wreak havoc on any plans you may have for feeling comfortable for days ...

A dull blade first of all, will not move smoothly across your skin as you're shaving the genitals or cut the hairs cleanly.

You males should be able to understand this from dulled tools you've used at work or in your own workshop. And you females should be able to understand this from dulled knives you've used in the kitchen or dull scissors. And anyone should be able to understand this from the results gotten from a lawn mower that has dull blades.

What happens when any of these tools are dull? Do they cut cleanly and smoothly, or do they tear whatever you're trying to cut? Think of what blades of grass look like after they've been mowed with dull blades - They look torn don't they? Sure they do.

So sure, shaving the genitals is on a much smaller scale, but it's the same difference. A dull blade will only pull on the hair. And what happens then is that this pulling will totally aggravate the hair follicles and eventually the hairs will s-t-r-e-t-c-h until they break, leaving torn tips, just like those blades of grass.

Now maybe you don't know what the big deal is about having broken, torn tips of hair. Read on -

What makes broken and/or torn tips of hair so bad is the fact that after each hair is pulled up and then affected by the blade, the tip then goes back down into the follicle, under the skin surface.

Okay - So first you have a hair follicle that has been totally aggravated from being pulled and then it's taken in a hair that has a ragged, jagged, torn or broken tip. Now multiply this by the number of follicles affected by shaving the genitals ...

Whether it happens immediately, or within hours after shaving the genitals, every one of these tips in those follicles will start trying to make its way back out to the skin surface.

You males should be able to understand the problem here if you've ever tried to thread a frayed wire or cord through a small hole. And you females should be able to understand the problem here if you've ever tried to get a frayed thread through a needle. And anyone should be able to understand the problem here if you've ever tried to get a frayed shoelace through the eyelet of your shoe.

So sure, shaving the genitals is on a much smaller scale, but it's the same difference. These frayed hair tips will be scratching against the walls of the follicles as they try to make it out of the follicle's round hole. And when they have trouble, which they will, there will be swelling, redness, bumps and yes, infected ingrown hairs.

Okay - So now maybe you have an understanding why the top tip on shaving the genitals is that you should ALWAYS use a clean, fresh blade in your razor EVERY TIME you shave.

Or - You could start using a tool that is designed for shaving the genitals.
