Razor irritation is the enemy of all men who regularly shave their faces, and figuring out the root cause of the irritation can be, at times, a confusing challenge. Is it the weather? The razor? A product you’re using? Or is it just the nature of your skin? Sometimes it even seems like a reasonable answer could be “all of the above.” At MenSalon in Rochester, MN, we provide comprehensive shaving services for men of all hair and skin types, as well as tips and tricks to keep your home shaving comfortable year-round.
Source of Shaving Discomfort
Identifying the source of shaving discomfort seems like it should be an easy problem to solve. Maybe one day you try less product, another day you use cooler water, and yet another day you use a fresh, sharpened razor. For many men, frequently changing routines in order to narrow down the problem can cause multiple types of irritation all at once. Rather than playing whack-a-mole with your facial products, sometimes the best thing you can do for your shaving routine is just simplify.
Necessary Part of Daily Hygiene
Men’s skin care is all about consistency. Rather than throwing everything at your face and seeing what sticks, go back to the absolute basics. Wet your face, shave with the grain, and pat dry. From there, you can evaluate what your skin needs. If your skin is dry after a shave, consider rinsing with colder water before you try a new moisturizer. Whenever you make a change in your skin care routine, give it time before making another.
