How do you know when your razor is dull?

I have a gillette fusion 5 blade razor and was wondering when it starts to get dull. I've been using it for about 1.5-2 months and I shave every other day. Should I change my razor?|||Yes. When the hair starts to pull more, change it.|||When you use more toilet paper on your face than on yer backside.|||i actually change blades after i use them two or three times. for that reason i use electric shaver most days of the week.

What are some ways to prevent razor burn & keep the hair from growing back so fast?

I hardly have time to shave so i guess since i don't shave everyday my legs get razor burn a lot easier especially in places that HURT!. what are some tips to help prevent razor burn and keep my hair from growing back so fast!


|||Honestly just wax, it does not hurt, the movies blow it out of portion. Then you don't have to worry about it for 6 weeks or if you have some money saved up laser your hair off, it is expensive but then you never have to worry about shaving again!!

How to treat razor burns with home products?

How to treat razor burns with home products?


I shaved an area near my stomach without applying shaving cream before hand and now I have red dots that can be irritated when I move around. They look like acne but I'm sure its just the effects of dry skin and shaving without using cream. How can I treat this? Right now I'm using Cetaphil on it more than twice a day to hopefully reverse the dryness.|||You can use some facial cream, or if you really want to be "green", i think honey can help you with that. Usually, you can apply honey to any kind of burns.|||It is like a rash.. Those should not be zits. If they have heads pop them, then apply triple antibiotic. If they do not still apply triple antibiotic. If you do not have shaving cream you should use conditioner...it gives the same affect.





Apply triple antibiotic after shaving too. I do and NEVER get bumps. Also petroleum jelly is a good but messy lotion/|||savlon, e45 cream

What's the best way to clean a shaving razor?

I need some kind of substance to clean the blades of my shaving razor. I have experimented over the past few months, and when my razor head gets about 2 months old, my acne REALLY gets bad. But after 3 months, and I get a new razor, my skin clears up. So, I've figured out that it must be the razor head and how dirty it is. I do rinse it with water after every stroke. I don't do anything different, and I use the same shaving cream and all that.|||I read that if you put a little Vodka in the razor cap then it keeps it sharper longer and the alcohol will kill germs.|||You need to change your razor or the blade every couple of days. Yes you need to rinse it in water after each couple of strokes. Change the blade or the razor after a couple of days as it is getting full of germs by not changing it often enough. Serious bacteria is growing your razor.|||you should replace the blade every 3-5 uses, because it starts getting dull anyway and there are lots of germs|||I suggest rinsing with water and use an old tooth brush to brush off unwanted left shaven hair...no substances required, these may affect your acne even more.|||Your must not be using your razor everyday if they are lasting up to 3 months... You only need to be using the razor about 6 - 8 weeks... besides, you just said that your acne gets bad after 2 months. HELLO... throw it away. If you continue to use the same razor over acne, you are just spreading it around... it's just like a makeup sponge, you have to change it out after an acne outbreak. Don't use the same razor for more than 2 months (MAX).

How much will razor combing affect my hair?

I have thick, wavy hair and when I wear it down, it looks good for a few hours, but after that the thickness gets the best of it and it starts to poof out. I want to have my hair thinned, but would razor combing it do the job well, or should I just stick to layers?|||I have the same problem! My friend razor combs her hair and it looks nice. I've heard that it can give you split ends faster, but if you regularly get your hair cut it shouldn't be much of a problem. Have you tried thinning scissors? You could just stick to layers and invest in some thinning scissors. If you do that, be careful with how much you thin!

How to prevent razor bumps from shaving down there?

I shaved my pubes for the first time. I didn't use any shaving cream I just started shaving. What can I do to prevent the razor bumps and maybe cut accidents? Thanks!|||I read in a magazine that you should stay in the shower for a while so that the warm water can open the pores and soften the hair (but that's pretty much for whatever area you're shaving, arm pits, legs, etc.)


But you need to exfoliate there, too. And after you get out of the shower, put an antibacterial cream on it to keep it from getting infected (which is what causes razor bumps).





And USE SHAVING CREAM!|||The first time is the worst and you will get razor burn no matter what. It gets better as your skin gets used to it. This is a new thing and your body has to cope. Somethings to help for the afterwards to soothe the skin include lotion, deoderant, ect. Shaving cream never helped me. Another way you can help is the angle you shave from. If you shave down, that helps alot :) Hope i helped.|||you just have to get used to it. if it still occurs after a month, maybe you should just wax it.|||Get in the swamp water. This will soothe your parts

How often do you need to change the Bic Soleil razor heads?

I accidentally bought the Soleil razor heads instead of getting the Venus razor heads. So I bought the Soleil razor but it doesn't specify how long I can/should use each of the heads for. Usually I use the Venus razor heads for about 3 months (it takes about 3 months for the blades to get dull).





Please let me know.|||When the blade is wearing down orif it gets rusty and its not shaving as well then you should change it. Maybe about after 7-10 times that you have shaved your legs.|||I betcha the same amount of time. When it starts pulling your skin. Venus is triple blade, right? Is that what the soleil is? Then 3 months it is!
