Shaving can be a hassle but needs to be done - Tips for teen boys
You are getting older, growing up, and you have start seeing some hairs on your chin and cheeks. The school is moaning about your 'fluff' and you need to start shaving. But what is the best way to do it?
You have maybe noticed that there are a lot of types of razors on the market from 'double blades' to 'five blades' and even electrical ones. It can be quite difficult to choose the right one.
If you want convenience and shaving quickly or anywhere, the electrical razor is the best option, but many boys do not get a 'close shave' with this since their beards are very hard, thick and dark. If you have a beard like that, you would want to go for more blades to make sure you get a clean shave.
The most important thing is that you choose a sharp blade and if the blade goes dull you need to change it. Dull blades can cause nicks or ingrown hairs or even red dots on your skin. It is also a good idea to choose a razor that has a head that can move, that way it is easier to follow the contours of your face.
Make sure you use proper shaving cream. Shaving will scrape your skin, so if you shave dry or not use a cream that will moisturize your skin, you will end up with a dry skin and some rash to go along with it, which does not only not look good, but can also be very sore.
Cutting yourself while shaving can happen easily, no matter how long you have been shaving and can happen more if you start out. So take it slow, do not rush the whole shaving process and if you cut yourself, just take a clean cloth, cotton wool or tissue and press down on the cut until the bleeding stops.
Shaving can cause ingrown hairs or 'shaving bumps'. If you have an ointment for it and it does not help, you will have to ask your doctor to prescribe something that will help for it.
A Definitive Therapy for Ingrown Hairs or Razor Bumps. INGROWN HAIRS (also called razor bumps) are unsightly and painful. They result when the shaved hair gets trapped inside the follicle or grows back into the skin. It can cause scarring, redness and swelling (its medical term is Pseudofolliculitis Barbae or PFB)

It is important that when you shave you rinse the blade every now and then while shaving. If you do not, the blade will get clogged and will be of no use and you will not get a clean shave.
So now you are ready. You have wet your face and put the shaving cream on your face so what now? Where do you start? Have a look at the video to guide you through this process.
When you are done you can slap on some after shave and you are ready to go. Depending on how fast your hair grows on your face, you will have to repeat this from each day to once a week.
@alishi something just seems to be wrong with me, whenever I use the shaving sticks I always end up having facial bumps. The o my that works is the electric clipper. Well thanks for the post!!
