- Everything I want you to know about shaving! Why do we need to practice good shaving habits?
Men and women commonly suffer from folliculitis and ingrown hairs from frequent shaving.
We discuss shaving techniques quite a bit in clinic and this video is to help as a foundation for building good shaving habits. I know my technique is not pure and perfect but this video is just a basic guide to help you formulate your own personalized style of shaving!
Men commonly are plagued with razor burn or a medical condition called pseudofolliculitis barbae (PFB) of the face and neck. PFB can be avoided with decreasing the frequency of shaving and practicing good shaving techniques but there are times when you have to come in to see a dermatologist for treatment with prescription medications or treatments (intralesional steroid injections, laser hair removal).
Here are the basic steps to shaving:
1. Cleanse face with warm water and consider a BHA based cleanser like Neutrogena's salicyclic acid wash amzn.to/2KYPUNI
2. Use a non-irritating shave gel (gels tend to be more lubricating than shave foams). I like Aveeno's Shave Gel amzn.to/2z2Ukka
3. Shave with the grain, and rinse your blade frequently between strokes
4. Follow-up with cold water to rinse off your shave gel and then cleanse with a gentle cleanser; I like to use La Roche Posay's Purifying Foaming Cleanser with ceramides and niacinamide amzn.to/3pqHrW0
5. I do not use "after shave" but instead use a moisturizer like EltaMD's moisturizers which have niacinamide: EltaMD Renewal Complex amzn.to/2Wqnkdk or EltaMD PM amzn.to/2WriJb5
6. Apply SPF...Be your best self for the day while looking your best!

I like to use a 5 blade razor by Gillette- their ProGlide Fusion amzn.to/3dhgC03.
Of note, my Gillette blades are meant to last for 1 month amzn.to/2KX9QAB. I change my blades out every 3 weeks but this varies on your shaving frequency and the type of disposable blade you are using. Everyone is different and this is not a cookie cutter method to shaving for everyone. Some individuals are unable to tolerate blades and need electric shavers- just ensure these are cleaned out well on a regular basis as bacteria can get easily trapped.

Dull blades really are one of the main culprits for shaving irritation, which is why traditional wet shaving with a double edge razor blade is making a comeback, as not only does the razor only cut the hair at the skin level (and not below, as seen with 3+ blade razors) meaning it doesn't cause ingrown hairs, and due to the low price of the blades (typically $0.05 per blade) you can use a new blade every day while still spending a quarter of what you would spend on Gillette cartridges.
hope this helps!
should i use a new multiblade razor every time?
@@matthewzarzour7273 Considering multiblade razor replacements cost $3 each, that would be way too expensive of an option. Luckily a company called Leaf shaves makes a multiblade razor that uses DE blade. Give it a look on youtube.
@@matthewzarzour7273no
@@matthewzarzour7273 Use a new razor every 2-3 shaves when using safety razors. Shave every day but not as close as opposed to close but not as often, in order to prevent ingrown hair - the deeper you shave, the more likely your hair is to crawl back underneath your skin
That orange wash that you used in the beginning is AMAZING, really good for sensitive skin and completely cured my bacne!
I'm here because I was looking to improve my post-shave result. Thank you for your help. I would just add that switching to a double-edge safety razor will also help tremendously.
Thanks Dr. Dan!! This is great. I really appreciate you going through the steps and suggesting different products to use with the specific ingredients to look for!
Thank you so much for this video Dr. Sugai. I got the neutrogena acne wash, did a cold water douse on my face/neck after shaving, and "let gravity do the work" when using my razor. I've only shaved like this twice but am already seeing a big reduction in razor burn, bleeding, and pimple bursting while shaving
This is so awesome to hear! Thank you for sharing your experience and results- great job!🙏🏼🙏🏼🤙🤙💪💪
Half of the skincare videos are men talking about using irritating menthol aftershaves, that the burn is good or to use hot scalding water and my skin was not happy. The other half were woman and mentioned nothing of skincare with shaving their face(which, I guess is a good thing🙄) I’ve been searching for this video for a while and my skin thanks you 😂
Nada Hin love this comment! You seriously made my day! Thanks for the feedback and for sharing. Take care, my friend!
This combo of razor and cream really worked for me. Thanks Doc!
eatlimegreen thanks for the update! Glad it was helpful and thank you so much for watching!
Wow.... thank you so much I have been having ingrown hairs and most importantly knicks and cuts along with razor burn but following your tips I have not had a burn in my last two shaves so I came back to follow you
Hi Anthony, really appreciate you returning back to connect and comment. Means a lot hearing your improvement and I am so happy for you, my friend! Take care!🙏🏼🙏🏼🤙🤙👍
This video was truly life changing. I bought all the recommendations off of Amazon and quickly tried it out. My skin has never been better. Thank you so much. From me and my wife!
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thank you! no one ever showed me how to shave and I literally did everything wrong but your video really helped me out!👍🏼
Thank you for saying that! My goal was to achieve exactly that! Thanks for watching and take care!! 👍🙏🏼🤙
Good video. Personally I changed from cartridge blades/shavers to a Safety Razor using Double Edge (DE) Blades, specifically Platinum DE Blades which have a softer coating and feel, rather than the legacy Stainless Steel ones along with using quality Shaving Soaps and Creams (Tube) like Proraso. One major thing though was to use cold water for shaving to reduce and prevent shaving rash in which I've been successful at doing most of the time. So initially I use hot-warm water to wet my face, apply Pre-Shave Cream (Proraso or similar), use a Shaving Brush with Shaving Soap or Cream, and lather up in a bowl and apply to my face. I then drain the sink and fill with cold water for the actual shave. Apparently the cold water on the face-blade-to-skin reduces the chance of shaving rash as there's no friction or heat being caused by hot-warm water. I usually do two passes: (1) with the grain (down the face), (2) against the grain (up the face). Then rinse with cold water and apply a quality Post-Shave Balm (Proraso or similar) to 'calm' my skin (no alcohol). Of course it's what works for you. But the 'cold water' technique really worked for me. Kind regards.
this helped so much bro thank u
Your comment is severely underrated. You just gave away all the secrets and nobody even knows 😂. I cannot believe how many people still use these overpriced multi razors that tear up your face.
I shaved for the first time in a whole year and when I was done my face was numb and my skin broke out in like less than a day so this is helpful thank you
Same. I didn't shave for two years and have itchiness and bumps
Excellent video, thanks Doc Daniel, I'm 2months into straight razor shaving, and lots of razor burn... Your advice is very good. I'll try to find some of the products mentioned 👍.
This was an enjoyable video to watch! I got tips from it as well!
Lisa Sugai thank you so much for watching! 👍🙏🏼
@@danielsugaimd Can i use the eltaMD morning and night even when i’m not shaving
@@danielsugaimd Deffs not your missus hey
I enjoyed watching this video! Thanks for sharing this tip with us
my new favorite youtuber, i learn so much
The best dermatologist ever!
Nice job Doc! Noticed you do favor the Neutrogena brand , just wondering why is it because of the PH balance? Very helpful tips! Looking forward to your next vid!
ayame Naka thank you so much! Good observation. I really like their consistent formulations for cleanser and moisturizer, similar to CeraVe! Thank you for your comments 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I used to get extremely bad RB and bumps, I'm extremely fair skinned. I used to use a cartridge razor like in this video. A barber friend of mine recommended a straight razor, at first I thought "not a chance in hell". After dealing with my skin irritation over and over I finally started out on a shavette, and switched my foam over to shaving soap with brush, and instead of a aftershave splash I now use a balm. Here we are, over 20 years later with no irritation, it is a big transition and DE razors do the same I have found but a straight worked for me, everyone's different though, I just wish this video was out back then cause I just happened to have a barber pal lol.
Thanks, this is very helpful!!
"I never thought I'd be doing this for the world" Hahaha! Thank you for such an informative video, Doc! Hoping for a future video on AHAs and BHAs and when to use which for specific skin concerns and skin goals. Thank you!
Kristian Franz thank you for watching and thank you for the suggestion!! Take care 🙏🏼
Thanks, Doctor Daniel, for helping tons of patients with this commun issue. I am one of them. I shared it with a lot of my friends, and I am running to buy all those products today. Thanks again.
Nice job Dr Dan!
mika mika thank you so much! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Many dermos say to not use any products with propellants or SLS. Also, multi blade razors are designed to tug at the skin to lift and cut the hairs, stay with a single blade.
Awesome Dr. Sugai Thanks for the tips.
Duy Le - WFG thanks for watching!
Might be 2 years late, but I appreciate this video I’m going to purchase all your recommendations and give this routine a try 👍
Tried almost shaving cream always had shaving rash . While in Italy got introduced to Prorazor . What a difference the best if you see this message . Thank you Mr Rificci Florence still using it ♥️
I've been going against the grain on my whole head with a headblade razor, noticed I've been getting a lot of pimple-looking bumps (not sure if it's ingrown hair) but also get a dry, yet oily head throughout the day.
I Decided to stop going against the grain, and start using better products but I get lost on what to use. Only recently started using:
C3 head wash to clean (feels like it's not cleaning well though) then Marlow shave cream with shea butter to shave my head, then I use headblade clear head as an aftershave, followed by palmer's cocoa butter as a moisturizer (then palmer's once more before bed, after washing again with C3 headwash).
Do you think I'm using some wrong products and would you think your routine in this video could work better for my whole head?
Also, how do you feel about an exfoliater a couple times a week?
Thanks for the video!
Thanks, doc!
Thank you for this.. all the way from philippines
Ah yes, the legendary Neutrogena acne wash. Liquid gold for sure
Liquid ash for me. Drys me tf out
@@rocklee5434 I've actually tried liquid ash, I feel it's great for more oil prone skin but I feel it dries my face out a bit too much. All kinds of skin warrant all kinds of products so I'm glad you've found one that suits you well :)
It’s a terrible face wash, read the reviews.
My skin feels tight. Just used it. I’m broke though so I’m not buying something else.
Hi Doc, Great video btw, very informative and helpful! I just want to ask. What other products you recommend for shaving gel for men or unisex. Sadly the aveeno shaving gel isnt available at this moment. Thank you!
I use Aveeno shave gel both version's love both, Also for post-shave I use Aveeno lotion love it!!!
hi thanks for the video it was very helpful. Do you have any recommendations for good electric razors for acne prone skin?
Thank you! Very helpful 😁
Thank you, my friend!
Thanks! the lotions products are great!
sakcee thank you so much for watching!! And good to hear you approve of the lotions! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🤙🤙
Great general information............However; multiblade razors are one of the biggest reasons for these problems. For instance
a five blade razor head, with each single pass it's the same as five pass's over the same area. You are better off to use a sharp
single edge blade, they are so inexpensive you can use a new blade every couple of times.
Thanks for the informative video!
Have you ever tried shaving with a single blade razor, like a safety razor? I’ve struggled with irritation from shaving and found that to help a lot.
I also started shaving with cold water instead of warm. The experience might not be as comfortable but it helped me get rid of razor burn and gave me a better end result.
I am by no means an expert but I would love to hear your thoughts!
Single blade is far superior and saves money on the long run. It's actually quite amazing how disinformative this video is as cheap Gillette multiblade shavers cause the most havoc of all options
saftey razors are amazing! but cheap single use razors with 1 or 2 blades kinda suck ass so you gotta invest in a good razor
Safety Razors/Single Blades were never better for me. Either it's my technique or the Blades I used I would still get Razor Bumps while not having a close shave at all.

What can you use to treat hyperpigmentation on the neck from shaving?
Best and by far the cheapest hack for me is just simple Vaseline. I wash my face with warm water/dove soap to soften the hair then lather a small amount of Vaseline to the area I am going to shave followed by my shave gel. I shave both with the grain and against the grain for a closer shave, it is a bit messy. However the blade glides perfectly and there isn’t much tug and pull.And when I tell you overtime the Vaseline has worked wonders on not getting so much irritation after. I also slaver it on after shaving and leave it. So basically Vaseline, Vaseline, Vaseline. Such a cheap alternative but very very effective for men with sensitive skin
I use Badger mineral sunscreen, and I love it. Hows that one in your opinion?
What about a safety razor? I've been researching wet shaving cause of cost and in my experience the pro glide cartridges have gotten worse and worse.. Everything I've looked up says that using a DE razor (double edge) gives you a mutch closer and cleaner shave with much less chance of irritation or ingrown hair's. Have you any experience with using a straight razor or safety razor?
You're definitely on the right path my guy
For a 2 days beard I start with an electric rotating blades razor dry shaving, than move to wet shaving with a shaving cream that I apply lathering with a shaving brush, using a double edge safety razor in 2 passes. After shaving I apply a mosturizer like Eucerin Aquaphor. I really don't love multiple blades cartridge razors.
Great video! You wash before and AFTER your shave?
I have a whole routine when I shave that differs from my normal skin routine . Aside from having a good clean sharp blade using a pre shave oil has helped the most. Game changer the second you feel the blade start gliding over the skin. I then like using Laneige Homme Blue energy toner then Aveeno calm moisturizer. Works for me
Rinse cartridge razors with cold water only. With the metal razor filaments trapped between their frame, they will expand just enough with warm or hot water to bow and this will cause nicking when shaving with the bowed out filaments.
Hey Doc! Do the same rules apply for shaving with a trimmer?
Thanks Dr. Sugai. I followed your steps. 30 years of razor burn on my chin. It's now gone after 1 week. Skin still looking great. Greatly appreciated!!!
At 43 i understand now how bad I’ve been stressing my skin out no cleanser and no spf 🧴 no moisturizer so thank you so much ❤
Thank you for the video doctor. I'm wondering whether it is good or bad to shave against the grain? and is it bad to shave everyday?
Dr. Sugai, thank you for the informational video! I did not realize that it was necessary to cleanse the face again after shaving. I do not typically use exfoliating cleansers, as they irritate my skin. I prefer leave-on products. I do, however, use a gentle cleanser like the one you mentioned here. How would you incorporate leave-on exfoliating products into this routine? For example, CeraVe SA cream, Paula’s Choice Liquid BHA, or The Inkey List PHA toner. Could this be applied after shaving if the BHA cleanser was not used beforehand? Would it be necessary to use the gentle cleanser before and after shaving? Please enlighten me.
Hi Matthew- thanks for watching and great question. It would be fine to apply the leave on product after shaving. Then okay to moisturize and sunscreen afterwards. If you have a problem with razor burn I think cleansing after the shave is necessary too. If not, cold water alone to rinse your shave gel off is fine. I also developed a hack of shaving with a foaming cleanser and that serves as a cleanse before and after. I can make a video on this later. Take care! 🙏🏼🤙
Great products and great video. I just recommend to use a brush to apply shaving foam/cream, so no need to rinse off hands after applying it. Also, I recommend a safety razor instead of cartriges, much better for shaving "like a gentleman".
I started shaving at 11; canned cream and two blade cartridge razor. At 12 for Christmas I received a gift of a Double edge Safety Razor, shaving mug with brush and shaving soap. Now at the age of 38, the only thing that has changed is Aftershave. My skin for whatever reason can't do splash Aftershaves anymore. Afta Original and Fresh Scent work really great. Price is good at $2 and change, contains Allantoin and other ingredients one can research.
What do you use for SPF? Also I shave my head and have been using a similar cleanser. Would you recommend it for the head or should I look for another product?
Phenomenal products. Ever since switching from shaving cream to the aveeno gel it’s been amazing. What’s a cheaper option on the last product?
Steven Boida good to hear!! The EltaMD has a cheaper equivalent that I will do a review on soon (DRMTLGY spf 46)! Thanks for watching 🤙🙏🏼
Also if your on a budget like me I always buy my husband Barbasol has a sensitive skin one for $1. He use to always use Nivea sensitive skin I use his as well lol I never tried the aveeno before.
Hi Doc, thanks for the tips. One question, what you think on face steamers and when we should use it? Greetings from Chile
Thanks, doctor. Any recommendations for skin care after electric shaving? Same products?
Hi! Great question. Same products. Electric shaving tends to be gentler and with a less close shave but the routine would be the same. Just be sure to clean the shaver routinely so that bacteria doesn’t build up. Thanks for watching! 🙏🏼🤙
The key takeaway is using a cleanser with ceramides and niacinamide post-shave. I use a very gentle scrub pre-shave, then lather up my cream using a brush and I will use either a safety razor or the Gillette SkinGuard. I shave in 4 passes: With the grain, across the grain, across the grain again (the other way), and then against the grain. By exfoliating and reducing as much stubble as possible, I can shave against the grain for a perfectly smooth finish. Finish up with the aforementioned Cleanser and moisturizer and you're good to go 👍
Thank you 💙
Thanks for watching! 🙏🏼🙏🏼👍🤙
hey i was wondering what you think about at home ipl hair removal thanks ! love the content
Use a traditional shaving cream or soap and a straight razor... Long learning curve, but it's worth it. A BBS shave will last 12 -14 hrs
Wholeheartedly agree.
How long is the learning curve? Should I expect to cut myself?
@@paulcarlin5181 At least 100 shaves to develop a good muscle memory and decent technique.
I read that it’s good to wash face with warm water to open pours then while shaving always rinse off blade and skin with cold water to close pours and not to bend or dull blade
Could you please place a full list of the products in the description un future would make it alot easier thanks
Crazy nothing beats a Safety razor
I just bought the gel. You might have finally saved me Dr. Sugai…
In my opinion, shaving with a double edged safety razor is better, and shaving with an actual shaving soap would be more beneficial for you.
This is what I shave with:
- Merkur Razor
- Feather razor blades
- Shaving brush
- Shaving soap: I recommend "Taylor of Old Bond Street"
- Proraso pre shave cream
- Alum block
Great advice. Is there a link for the best places to pickup the products you're mentioning?
Marcus Celes thank you for your comment! Will definitely look into incorporating links for the future- thank you for the suggestion!
I noticed, you used a cartridge razor, is that your preference and why?
Have you used a double edge safety razor?
Thanks doc. I shave after a shower. I use a straight razor. Proraso shaving soap and brush. Aftercare is wash off and use aftershave balm. Any issues with my method? I use a straight razor to be enviro-friendly ie no disposables in landfill. I wonder how many disposable razors end up in landfill every week around the world? Thanks again for a straight forward vid 🙏🙂
Hey Dr. Sugai! Thanks for this video! is this routine also usable for shaving a bald? i am shaving my head with a foil razor. it's nearly clean shaven like with razor blades but not that painful. my head skin is after that always dry and my neck reddened and sore. is it also usefull to clean my head before shaving with a BHA based cleanser? I dont use a shave gel because i use the foil razor. should i clean my headskin and neck after that despite this with a niacinamide included cleanser? is it possible that the "La Roche Posay's Purifying Foaming Cleanser" is not available in germany? maybe i am searching for another cleanser which includes niacinamide. Can you recommend another mousturizer from a more common brand then the eltaMD? the eltaMD renewal complex isn't buyable in germany. Thanks in advance!
Hello doctor, can this same method be used for the pubic area. I'm a black woman with horrible ingrown hair issue. I was considering laser hair removal, but it's hard to find clinic that treat black skin. Your advice will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Hey, I regularly shave my pube area and that when I will notice the red mark areas around the groin area do these also apply to the pubic area
Hi Daniel! Thank you for your advice - I’m going to buy the La Roche-Posay cleanser as my second cleanser!
I have a question about the razor bumps I get on my chin though, haha - do you have thoughts on how to prevent them specifically? Is witch hazel a bad idea? haha. Thanks! : )
Niall hello, friend- thank you for watching! There are so many products with witch hazel which has been around for centuries offering many benefits. That being said though, we never recommended this during my derm training in residency and we only recommend the tried and true ingredients for razor bumps like benzoyl peroxide or salicyclic acid. Beyond that, we recommend you seeing a derm to go over prescription options. I have been sent a few products with witch hazel from other companies and will circle back and let you all know what I think. May make a good video 😉🤙👍. Take care!
Going to try these tips, I often have bad razor burn on my neck like nobodies buissness and it has made me very self conscience and embarrassed hopefully this will help
THE 10 COMMANDMENTS PREVENTING OF INGROWN HAIRS:
1. THOU SHALT NOT USE DIRTY BLADES!
Using a blade that's been used way too many times. Yes, this one may be obvious, but be sure to keep your used tools as clean as possible. Soap and rubbing alcohol will destroy bacteria.
2. HONOR THY DELICATE SKIN!
Too many blades! If you are prone to ingrown hairs then you don’t need 3 or more blades.
3. DO NOT TAKE PREP TIME IN VAIN!
You should be using a warm/hot water prep (5 mins). Then leave the shaving creme on for more than 3 minutes to really soften the hair. The hair stubble should literally fall away with little or no pressure at all. Pressing hard is the problem! Be gentle ya'll.
4. THOU SHALT NOT GO AGAINST THE GRAIN!
Shaving against the grain. Shave in the direction of hair growth (usually down, but perform a face map to be sure).
5. THOU SHALT NOT PRESS!
Pressing too hard on the skin with the blade. A gliding, light touch is all you need. This is likely your biggest issue.
6. THOU SHALT NOT PASS!
Too many quick passes with the blade. One pass per hairy area - going 1-2 inches downward at a time - will prevent ingrown hairs. Always shave like you might cause damage, not like your mowing the front yard lawn.
7. THOU SHALT NOT COMMIT OVER SHAVING!
Shaving too many times. This rule is hard to follow especially if you have to shave for your career but if you are prone to ingrowns, try shaving with an electric clipper. The results are not super close but no one but you will know the difference. Ladies, try waxing.
8. THOU SHALT NOT CLOG!
Use of skin/pore clogging cremes or lotions. These keep hairs from growing up. After a shave, keep your skin bare; let the tiny army breath, and allow those newly shaved, really small, microscopic hairs to grow out just in time for the next shave.
9. KEEP THE SKIN FREE!
Avoid tight fitting clothing around the Adam’s apple (neck) and/or below the waistline region.
10. REMEMBER TO EXFOLIATE!
Not enough exfoliation to remove excess layers of skin. Use a skin care brush for razor bumps as directed. Brushes also tease the hairs away from entering the skin. Try a WIZKER brush today!
Shaving with a double-edged razor is far superior to shaving with a cartridge. Period. Many shavers who for years have had irritation, ingrown hairs, razor bumps, etc. have benefitted greatly by making the switch away from cartridge razors. Dragging 5-7 blades across your face versus a single blade is a recipe for trouble. I have personally benefitted from making the switch and encourage others to do the same.
ive tried everything. cartriges, electric and now ive tried a safety razor. its been better. but after around 24 hours i have some places with red skin and tiny white spots. tried some antibiotic creams (given by doctors ) but nothing has helped. any other advice?
Good video for men without fathers! Thanks
Thank you, my friend!
I have 2 question? for any guy can you first shave and than eat? Second question can you eat and than shave? I appreciate the help I heard is bad I don't if is good? Or really bad like they say? 😕
Would you do the same when shaving with an electric razor? Or would you then shave dry? Thx
Please can this same processes be used for the Body and groin?
Hey Doc, just wondering what are your thoughts on aftershave like say Nivea post balm shave ? Also what about putting Dickinson’s witch hazel on afterwards ?
J U hello, my friend- I actually don’t routinely recommend after shave or balms. A lot of them can be irritating and I prefer a gentle moisturizer without fragrance. If your skin can handle nivea without issues- that is fine to stick with it it you like how it makes your skin feel after a shave. Witch hazel has a lot of “theoretical” benefits but I don’t routine recommend this either. As an astringent, I have seen it over-dry skin and cause rashes. But, if you find it soothing after a shave- I am not opposed to it! Take care and thanks for watching! 🤙🙏🏼🤙🤙
I like my safety razor. nice close/aggressive shave and the blades are cheap cheap. I can also clean the blades (and resharpen if necessary). I think i'm going to start using a nice shave gel instead of foam though. Then i just use a little hemp heaven after shaving. Thanks !!
So if I use these products and do the same things u just did will they stop the red marks razor burn on my face and neck after shaving ? I dont wanna buy these products if they dont actually work..... pls lmk .
Dr, the example you used is not bad.. african/black men suffer from this the most for some odd reason and mine looks like cystic acne on my neck. i gave up razor shaving and can only tolerate machine shaving. I will try your method
Do you have an opinion about electric vs cartridge or other razors?
can you do a video with a safety razors? please and thank you
Thank you for the tutorial, thank you for the video, what about shaving against the grain?
I need those skin products!
This is the video everyone needs to see who has sensitive skin and issues with ingrown hairs! I've been using for 1 week and my skin has completely changed on not only my face but my shaved head. I've suffered for a long time with ingrown hairs on my scalp. In just 1 week I've seen better results than I've ever seen. I would pretty much follow your word on skin care like it's the gospel at this point. Can you tell me what sunscreen you use so I can buy that as well? Thank you for this video!
THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR FIRST HAND experience.
Is it ok if I use after-shave after I finish shaving? The after-shave I use does not contain any menthol or alcohol. It is “Burt’s Bees, Men’s Smoothing Moisturizer & After Shave”.
Hello, with my job I sweat alot, what would you recommend to use for a aftershave?
Im cleansing, then using a ginseng shave oil with a striaght razer. Salicylic acid, then a retinol moisturiser. Works OK on days off but becomes sore when sweaty @ work.
Any tips be greatly appreciated
Hey Dr Sugai, it seems like Aveeno doesn't make this shaving gel any more. Do you have an updated recommendation?
is it ok for me to shave, and then just wash my face using my usual routine? I have a face wash, toner and cream
Doctor what if you use serums like hyaluronic acid and niacinamide by the ordinary. Also, isn’t that cleaner for oily skin? What if you have sensitive/dry?
Great video! But say you need to do a SUPER close shave because maybe you’re in the military or law enforcement and it’s a full dress day or say you’re a female impersonator (and it’s just regular dress day) and the only way you can get a “bare” skin shave is to shave across or even slightly against the grain?
Provided you use good practice otherwise, how often should you do this kind of hardcore shaving?
If I'm applying adapalene after shaving, should I apply Cetaphil moisturizer before or after the adapalene gel?
Can you do a video on beard care in general?
I found that shaving foam eventually creates a permanent sticky film on my blades, even after cleaning. I simply switched to lathering with plain non-oily liquid soap. Because it's soap, it naturally helps clear out the gaps between blades, each time I rinse the razor. Plus, there is no residue on the blades, and liquid soap is inexpensive. Is that bad for my skin?
I think as long as you’re using a gentle soap (preferably one made for sensitive skin) then this seems fine. However, if you’re using a liquid hand soap I would immediately steer clear. Soap is usually extremely drying to the skin and if it’s heavily fragranced it may cause a lot of irritation. I imagine the Cera Ve Hydrating Cleanser Bar or other similar cleansing bars could work well. These sorts of products are actually soap free but have the appearance and consistency of a traditional bar soap. Hope this helped.
