Does smoking increases facial hair or makes it grow faster... and does it make you look older?

Never heard of it causing facial hair growth although could imagine it could stunt it, like it can stunt growth in other areas such as height and errections.



It'll make you look older eventually yeah as your skin gets damaged (like spending too long in the sun) and the wrinkles start to show. Might have to wait quite a few years for that - usually around 40 - 50 region, but that's assuming you lived that long.

If u pluck facial hair will it grow back faster?

no, this is just a myth



If u pluck facial hair will it grow back faster?

A myth.



People think it grows faster because of the thickness of the shaft when it starts growing in.



Plus it's either unsightly facial hairs or fast growing hair.



If u pluck facial hair will it grow back faster?

i pluck mines all the time but it doesn't grow faster



If u pluck facial hair will it grow back faster?

Growing a beard/facial hair?

I am 16 and started shaving about 2 years ago. i only shave about every 5 days. if i wanted to grow some sort of beard or something would it be faster to shave every day for a while and then stop, or just stop? or something else?



Growing a beard/facial hair?

I don't know... I have to shave every 2 days (I'm 16 too) and it annoys the heck out of me, but when I grew a beard it looked horrible. I would just leave it for a while if you want a beard or something.



Growing a beard/facial hair?

There is no way to make hair come in faster, it will when its ready to. Don't rush it, trust me when you do get it to come in, and you have to shave every day, after a while you'll wish it never started growing in the first place.

Shaving Products For Facial Hair... ?????

How Often Are You Suppose to change your safty razor?... or the blades on it...



and whats a good brand of after shave?



Shaving Products For Facial Hair... ?????

You change the blade when it becomes dull enough to be uncomfortable.



One after shave is about as good as another. It is basically a matter of what fragrance you prefer. For the last 18 years, I've used Safari by Ralph Lauren.

Aloha from Down Unda!



Each %26amp; every time!



Or use an electric triple headed shaver such as Norelco, Remmington or any ole electric if you really don't care to slice your throat repeatedly with those blades in the standard disposable Gillettes, Schicks, Bics, etc, etc!



I really like a product called "Prefered Stock' by 'Stetson' because of the smell %26amp; the reasonable price...there are others but they usually involve things like 'Old Spice', 'Mennen', 'Noxema' %26amp; any trip down the shaving gear aisle of the local supermarkets, drug stores or even 7-11, will reveal plenty of options!

How to shave facial hair correctly?

Okay, on the cheeks, from up to down (downward motion)



neck, from down to up (upward motion)



sides same as cheek.



i may have shaved my chin area from up to down. and when i try to shave it down to up, it hurts. why is that so? what do i do?



How to shave facial hair correctly?

Always shave in the direction the hair is going (with the grain)



like above said if you shave against it, yes you will get a closer shave but you can get ingrown hairs and cysts and those really suck. And always change your blade on the razor every month or sometimes even sooner. and use shaving cream and after shave lotions afterwards.



Shave in the direction it is smooth that is with the grain.



How to shave facial hair correctly?

ALWAYS go with the grain, against the grain will give a closer shave , and ingrown hairs , that could lead to cysts.



How to shave facial hair correctly?

Anyway is fine, as long as you're comfortable with the result. (I'm assuming you're not using a straight edge, knife-like razor).

SHAVING METHODS:



WET SHAVING



Wet shaving as described below refers to shaving done with a disposable razor or a safety razor. These rules also apply if you happen to be using a straight razor, but there are a few specifics to know about straight razors that you will want to read up on before committing to that task (click here to read about straight razors).



Throughout the wet shaving section, you'll find exceptions and tips noted for men who suffer from razor bumps and ingrown hairs. There is an additional section devoted to this topic as an addendum to the wet shaving section. If you suffer from razor bumps or ingrown hairs, be sure to read both sections, as the combination of proper wet shaving technique plus the use of special sensitive skin products and tips will often clear up the problem.



Keep in mind that much of the advice for wet shaving does not apply to those using electric shavers; see the section on electric shavers for specific advice on that topic.



Before you Shave: Waking up the skin



When you first wake up in the morning, your skin tends to be puffy and swollen. If you shave in the mornings, wait until at least 20 minutes after you have woken up before you begin your shave to let the puffiness go down. When your skin has reached its normal tautness, the hairs will be closer to the surface and easier to shave.



Pre-Shave Cleansing



Some skin care experts recommend cleansing your face with a facial soap before shaving to help remove dead skin and excess dirt and oil, thus freeing up any ingrown hairs and preventing the clogging of your razor. If you do cleanse your face before shaving, don't just wash with ordinary soap, as it will dry your skin. Use warm water and a facial soap or cleansing scrub designed for men's skin.



If you have problems with ingrown hairs or razor bumps, and you may wish to use a pre-shave cleansing product specifically designed to prevent those problems (see the section on "Sensitive Skin" for more tips on avoiding razor bumps and ingrown hairs).



Warm Water Prep



Even if you choose to skip the pre-shave wash, be sure to use warm water to thoroughly wet your face before applying your shaving cream or gel. Massaging your face with warm water makes the skin more pliable and opens the pores, plus it helps soften your whiskers. Soft, wet whiskers tend to be easier to shave. Think of when you get your hair cut-- it is much easier for your barber to cut your hair wet than dry.



You can easily accomplish this task by showering before you shave. Avoid using extremely hot water, as it might dry out your skin.



Applying a warm, wet towel or washcloth to your face for a few minutes can also help soften your hair and open your pores. For men with very coarse whiskers, you may want to apply the hot towel a few times in succession to really loosen things up.



Applying shaving cream/gel/shave soap



Use a cream, shave soap, or gel that is specifically designed for shaving. Don't use ordinary soap to lather your face, as it will dry out your skin. Avoid low-quality foams, as they tend to be less effective than creams or gels and also may dry your skin.



Apply your cream or gel by massaging it in a thin, even layer. If you are using a glycerin-based shave soap, apply an even layer using a badger bristle shave brush (click here for details on shave brushes). The idea is to use enough cream or gel to lubricate your skin and soften your beard while helping the razor glide smoothly with minimal irritation; too much cream or gel will cause your razor to skip and clog.



Applying Shave Oil



As with gels and creams, thoroughly wet your face with warm water. Put 4 to 5 drops of shaving oil in your hand and massage it into your face. Keep the face wet while you shave; if it is drying out, massage in more water. Shaving oils are different from gels and foams in that you cannot easily see where you have applied them. This is good if you are creating a goatee or side burns, as you can see exactly what you are doing. It can be bad if you forget where you already shaved, as you don't want to irritate the same spot by shaving over it repeatedly.



You can also apply a pre-shave oil as a first layer, underneath shaving creams and gels, to help soften the beard and improve the quality of the shave.



Go With the Grain



When wet shaving, it is best to shave "with the grain" of your hair growth. Which way is with the grain? Rub your hand on your stubbly face. In one direction it will feel more rough than in the other and will resist the push of your hand-- kind of like when you rub a cat backwards! That rough direction is against the grain, while the other, smoother-feeling direction is "with the grain." On your cheeks and chin, this will tend to be downward. On your neck, this will tend to be upward, though everyone's hair growth varies. Some men's facial hair swirls in certain patches. The best way to find the grain direction is to shave and then let your stubble grow back for a couple of days, and rub.



Why shave with the grain? Because there is less of a chance of nicks and cuts, and because it reduces the chance of ingrown hairs and razor bumps. When you shave against the grain, the razor's blade catches aginst the hair and pulls it slightly further away from the surface of the skin. This results in an increased likelihood of shaving the hair at a level slightly below your skin's surface-- one reason why ingrown hairs develop. Also, when you shave you are not simply taking off hair, you are taking off a fine layer of skin (you are "exfoliating"). Shaving with the grain tends to be a little easier on your skin as well, as the razor tends to travel a smoother path with the grain of hair growth.



If you've been shaving against the grain up until this point, then you it might take some time to get a close shave by going with the grain. Keep trying; your face may take a week or two to adjust to a new method of shaving.



**A note on going against the grain**



You might have some particularly stubborn stubble that needs to be shaved against the grain (or sideways across the grain, which is a little less harmful than directly against the grain) in order to attain a close shave. If that is the case, shave as much as you can with the grain, then re-lather and shave those trouble areas across or against the grain. Some guys use this method for a really, really close shave. If you try this approach, remember to re-lather and repeat only after getting through your first shave with the grain.



If you are prone to ingrown hairs/razor bumps, avoid this practice at all costs as it will most likely make the problem worse.



Shaving Method



Be methodical when you shave-- don't just shave here and there, as you will miss spots or go over the same spot too many times. A good method is to begin with your side burns, cheeks, and neck. Finish with the upper lip and chin, where the whiskers tend to be heavier. Saving them until last will allow the cream or gel to soften them more.



While you are shaving, use your free hand to gently pull the skin taut to avoid nicks. If you pull your skin to be very taut, you will get a closer shave; however, if you suffer from razor bumps/ingrown hairs you might want to avoid pulling the skin too tightly, as you'll risk cutting the hairs slightly below skin level.



Try not to repeat strokes, as this can irritate your skin. Make sure you lift the blade after each stroke, thus reducing the chance of cuts and nicks. Don't press too hard-- your razor should glide over your face. If you have to press too hard it is time for a new blade.



Rinse Your Razor as You Go



Regularly rinse your razor in hot water. If necessary, tap it on the sink to dislodge clogged hair and cream or gel (but avoid tapping the blade directly, as this will obviously dull it). A clogged blade will not perform well.



Rinse Your Face with Cool Water



When you are done shaving rinse off excess cream with cool water. Gently pat your face dry. Do not rub.



Apply Toner or Aftershave Balm



Avoid using alcohol-based aftershave, as it will dry out your skin. Instead, apply a balm or toner with ingredients that will moisturize and nourish your skin. After-shave toners help remove any residue left over from shaving, close the pores, and refresh the skin.



If you have problems with acne, find an aftershave product that is "non-comedogenic," which is a fancy way of saying that it will not clog your pores. If you have problems with ingrown hairs/razor bumps, you may want to use a product designed specifically to combat that problem.



Caring for your Blade



Rinse out your razor carefully with hot water at the end of your shave. Allow the razor to air dry naturally; drying it on a towel can dull the blade.



Blades should be changed every 4-6 shaves, or more frequently if you have a very coarse beard. A dull blade will cause you to push down harder in order to be effective, pulling at your hairs and skin and causing irritation and possibly ingrown hairs.



If You've Cut Yourself Shaving



Use a styptic pencil (made primarily of alum) or an alum block to dab on the affected area to stop the blood flow. Alum has astringent properties (it closes pores), and has been used by men for years to help heal shaving nicks.



There are a couple of other products on the market to heal shaving cuts, including roll-on products that contain natural ingredients such as aloe. These can be a more soothing alternative to the styptic pencil.

SENSITIVE SKIN:



Preventing razor burn, rashes, and ingrown hairs/razor bumps



Before trying to treat sensitive skin problems that arise due to shaving, it is important to diagnose each problem correctly. Described below are four common problems caused by shaving or shaving products.



Razor Burn



Razor burn is a temporary irritation, redness or swelling of the skin. If you dry shave, shave without adequate cream or gel, or shave too hard or too fast, your skin will likely show some irritation. If you're suffering from razor burn, look for a soothing after-shave balm. Avoid alcohol-based aftershaves. You also may also want to avoid shaving for a few days in order to let the skin heal itself. Razor burn should go away in a few days, and it is easily prevented through the methods outlined in the "Wet Shaving" section.



Rashes (other than razor burn)



Rashes other than razor burn can be caused by allergic or other adverse reactions to the skin/shaving products you are using. If you believe this to be the case, try unscented products and/or products designed specifically for sensitive skin. Definitely stop splashing on alcohol-based after-shaves and colognes. Use an after-shave balm that soothes the skin with natural ingredients and no heavy scents.



Razor Bumps/Ingrown Hairs



Razor bumps and ingrown hairs are medically known as "pseudofolliculitis barbae." Razor bumps result from a hair growing out of the skin, curling around and then growing back in. Ingrown hairs form when hair, growing back after shaving, fails to grow out of the follicle.



In either case, hairs being lodged in the skin causes inflammation, followed by pus formation. Psuedofolliculitis barbae appear as tender, red, raised bumps. For this reason, they are sometimes mistaken for acne. If you are unable to tell if you are experiencing acne or pseudofolliculitis barbae, ask your doctor or dermatologist for help in diagnosing your problem.



Preventing Razor Bumps and Ingrown Hairs



In order to prevent razor bumps and ingrown hairs, you should follow the basic shaving advice given in the "Wet Shaving" section (with exceptions as noted therein for sensitive skin). Also keep in mind the additional shaving pointers listed below.



Find the right razor and products for *your* skin



For wet shaving, try switching to a single blade razor, as double and triple blades tend to pull up on the whisker and then cut it below the epidermis (the top layer of the skin).



If an ordinary single blade does not seem to help, specialized razors have been developed to cut the hair slightly longer than typical razors. Product lines such as the "Bump Fighter Shaving System" include such razors, as well as pre-shave and after-shave products that help with tough cases of razor bumps. Other specialty razors have been developed to shave sensitive areas of the face and body, and those may also be appropriate for preventing razor bumps.



Razor bumps tend to be a more serious problem for men with kinky or curly hair, especially Black men. As such, there are a number of products that have been designed and marketed specifically for Black men to reduce and prevent razor bumps (see also the section on "Shaving Powders/Depilatories"). Men of all colors who suffer from razor bumps may benefit from exploring these product lines.



Some men who suffer from ingrown hairs claim that electric shavers are helpful to them, yet other men say that electric shavers make the problem worse. You may wish to try an electric razor if the proper wet shaving methods have failed to solve your problem. Keep in mind that many electric shavers have a money-back guarantee, so you may be able to try one with minimal financial risk (see more details in the "Electric Shavers" section).



Use an exfoliating facial cleanser



Use a cleanser designed to exfoliate your skin at least once or twice a week to remove dead cells and help free up trapped hair. You may also want to try a pre-shave cleanser or treatment designed specifically for prevention of razor bumps and ingrown hairs.



Thoroughly wet your beard before shaving



This is generally a good rule in any case, but especially so for those with ingrown hair problems. Make sure your beard has been wetted with warm water for at least 5 minutes before shaving. A good time to shave is immediately after you shower. Wetter hair is much easier to shave, and thus your razor will cause less pulling and irritation.



Shave with the grain of your hair growth



This is so important it bears repeating. Review the tips about shaving with the grain in the previous "Wet Shaving" section.



Minimize repeat shaving strokes



Fewer strokes means less irritation and less chance of cutting the hairs too close.



Shave with the skin in a neutral relaxed position



This is the best way to shave your beard close, but not too close. Excessive pulling and stretching of the skin causes the hair to protrude a bit farther out than normal. Shaving over stretched skin may cut the hairs below the surface of resting skin, thus increasing the risk of ingrown hairs.



Use shaving gels and aftershave balms specifically designed to prevent razor bumps



As mentioned previously, product lines have been specifically designed for men who suffer from razor bumps and ingrown hairs.



Avoid shaving over already irritated razor bumps



Shaving over bumps might cause them to bleed and become more inflamed. If possible, you might want to avoid shaving for a few days and try a skin product regimen designed to dislodge and soothe ingrown hairs before you begin shaving again.



How to dislodge ingrown hairs



Using a cleanser featuring glycolic acid before you shave can help dislodge ingrown hairs. Glycolic acid helps remove dead skin. You can also try to dislodge them by very gently rubbing a clean, soft-bristled toothbrush or clean, rough washcloth over the affected area in a circular motion.



In some instances the hair may grow out of the follicle but become trapped under a fine layer of skin. For hairs that you can clearly see growing along under the skin, simply free them up with a sharp pair of sterilized tweezers (sterilize with alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, or boiling in water for 15 minutes). Do not pick them out with your fingers, as this will probably make the problem worse. Also, do not pluck the hair all the way out, just set it free and let the area heal.



The easiest solution: Grow your Beard



Perhaps the easiest way to avoid razor bumps and ingrown hairs is to grow out a beard or goatee. You may need to follow a skin regimen to help loosen and free up previously ingrown hairs, but once they are out they should no longer pose a problem, and your skin should heal nicely.



See a Dermatologist



If over-the-counter solutions and using proper shaving methods do not help clear up your skin and ingrown hair problems, it might be helpful to seek the advice of a dermatologist.

--------------------------------------...



SHAVING POWDERS/DEPILATORIES



There are a few brands of shaving powders on the market that have been formulated for Black men to help stop razor bumps-- these can usually be found in the shaving section of your drugstore. Shaving powders are used instead of a razor; they chemically cause the hair to be removed from the skin.



Men of all colors might find success with shaving powder. However, the key for all men is to test the product on a small area of the face to make sure there is no adverse reaction or irritation associated with the product. Depilatories can be irritating to those with sensitive skin.



You should always follow the specific instructions on the label for the shaving powder you have chosen. In general, the process involves mixing up a couple of tablespoons of powder with an equal amount of cool water to create a soft paste. You then apply the paste mixture over the area of your beard, without rubbing it in. Allow the paste to remain on the beard for 3-5 minutes, then remove with a spatula using smooth strokes (avoid scraping). DO NOT LEAVE ON THE SKIN FOR MORE THAN 5 MINUTES, as the skin may become irritated or burned. Wash thoroughly with cold water and make sure that all of the product has been removed from your skin. Avoid contact with the eyes, and do not use within 36 hours of shaving.



back to the top



--------------------------------------...



ELECTRIC SHAVERS



Unlike blades, electric shavers work by shearing the whiskers--the hair enters the perforated metal heads or foils of the shaver and is cut by the moving blades inside. Most electric shavers are dry shavers (i.e. they don't require shaving gel or water), though there are some wet/dry electric models on the market. This guide covers the more common dry shaver models; if you do choose a wet/dry model, follow the specific instructions of your model for use and care.



Benefits of dry electric shaving are ease of use and less chance of cuts and scrapes. It is debatable as to whether wet blade shaving or electric shaving is faster, but some men find that the electric shaver is less messy and more convenient.



First-time electric shaver users



If you are new to shaving, or have been using a blade razor and are switching to electric, give your face 2-3 weeks to adjust to electric shaving. Also, don't fluctuate back and forth between blade shaving and electric shaving during that period if you can help it. Though your first few shaves may be less than perfect, many men report that once their face has gotten "used to" the electric shaver, it works very well for them.



During your trial and error process of finding the right shaver, keep in mind that many brands of electric shavers have money back guarantees. Be sure to check the guarantee for the shaver you purchase and plan accordingly.



Types of Dry Electric Shavers



There are two major types of electric shavers: foil shavers and rotary shavers. Personal preference and trial and error will determine which type is better for you.



Foil shavers use an oscillating (back and forth) motion to cut hairs through a foil (also know as a screen). The blades in a foil shaver are positioned in line; they may contain 1-4 rows of blades. Single foil shavers have one cutter covered by one foil. These are ideal for men who are just starting to shave or those with slow beard growth. Double foil shavers have two cutters covered by two foils; triple foil shavers have three cutters covered by three foils, etc.



Rotary shavers use a cutting system based upon circular blades that rotate under a slotted head or heads. They may contain 1-3 rotating blades and heads, and the heads may be designed to swivel with the contours of your face.



ELECTRIC SHAVING METHODS



Preparation



Dry electric shavers require the opposite of what you want when preparing for a traditional wet shave with a blade. With an electric shaver, you want the hairs to be dry and stiff before you begin, so they are easier to shear once they've gotten inside the heads of the shaver. Because of this, you should not start by washing your face or thoroughly wetting the beard with water.



Instead, you may want to prep with a pre-shave lotion designed for electric shavers (such as "Lectric shave"). Such products, often alcohol-based, dry up the oils and moisture on your skin and make the whiskers stand straight up.



General Rules



When using an electric shaver you can shave either against the grain of your whiskers or with the grain (see the "Wet Shaving" section for information on finding the grain of your beard growth). In the case of a rotary shaver, make small circular motions with the shaver head on your face. Be sure to use gentle pressure-- do not move rapidly, and do not press down hard. Let the shaver do the work for you. If you have to press down hard, your shaver may be dirty, and/or your blades may be too dull and need to be replaced



Hints for Sensitive Skin



If you have sensitive skin, you may wish to shave the more sensitive areas of your face and neck first, and finish with the less sensitive areas. This is because some electric shavers generate heat over the course of your shave, and heat can cause irritation. Shave sensitive areas while the shaver is still cool.



Finishing Up



When you are finished, if there is any pre-shave lotion remaining, rinse your face with warm water, then cool water. Pat your face dry (don't rub) and apply an after-shave balm or moisturizer to smooth the skin. As with wet shaving, avoid alcohol-based after-shaves, and instead look for products designed to soothe and moisturize your skin without clogging your pores.



ELECTRIC SHAVER MAINTENANCE



Don't throw away the manual!



Take the time to read your shaver manual regarding its proper use, upkeep, and maintenance. Below are some general tips for proper shaver maintenance; however, these should not replace the tips given in the manual for your specific model.



Clean your shaver's screen and cutter regularly



On most shavers you can lift off the head frame which holds the screen in order to brush out any whisker residue. The shaver should come with a cleaning brush designed for this purpose. The cutter, located below the screen, is the area you need to brush out. Do not touch the screen itself with the brush; it is very fragile. It is best to clean your shaver at least every third shave, preferably more frequently. You can also use a specialized cleaning solution as recommended by the manufacturer for a really thorough cleaning.



The screen and cutter need lubrication



Spray a lubricant (there are plenty designed and recommended by shaver manufacturers) on the shaving screen while the shaver is running. This will free up any metal-to-metal binding that may be impeding the shaver's effectiveness. Use the lubricant sparingly, and apply as directed by the manufacturer. It is best to lubricate the cutter just before you shave. You don't need to wipe off excess lubricant.



Changing your foil and cutter



Most foil and cutter sets need to be changed about once per year; sooner if you have a tough beard or if you don't clean out and lubricate your shaver frequently enough. Change the foil and cutter at the same time. As your cutter gets duller, your foil gradually gets thinner as well. Installing a new, sharp cutter under a thinning foil can break a hole in the foil, and you could possibly be cut.

--------------------------------------...



STRAIGHT RAZORS



The straight razor is constructed of a long, hardened steel blade attached to a handle by means of a pivot. The handle is typically made of hard rubber, plastic, or bone. You may have seen one in your old-style local barbershop, or in an old movie閳ユ攼r perhaps you know someone who uses one on a regular basis.



A straight razor is a classic shaving implement, and one that is not as commonly used since the invention of the safety razor. However, some men still enjoy shaving with a straight razor, and so can you if you are so inclined to do a little research on straight razor care and technique.



One advantage of a straight razor is that, if properly cared for, the blade can last for generations. Unlike disposable blades, which we simply throw away after a few shaves when they become too dull to use, straight razors are frequently "stropped" and periodically "honed" to maintain their sharp cutting edge. If you choose a straight razor, you should be prepared to spend some quality time maintaining it in order to get an effective shave.



When shopping for a straight razor, you should look for a shop that deals with high quality shaving equipment and/or high quality knives. Ideally, find a shop where the salespeople actually use the products they sell, so that they can provide you with quality advice on using and maintaining your razor.



For your first straight razor, it is probably best to avoid buying the most expensive model (in case you give up on the whole thing). Nor is it wise to buy the cheapest model (a poor quality razor can keep you from getting a good shave and enjoying the experience). Buy a razor that balances quality and price. Discuss with your salesperson which choice might be best for you and your beard-type.



Important points to consider with your salesperson when buying a straight razor are:



Balance



The balance refers to the relative weight and length of the blade as compared with that of the handle. A straight razor is properly balanced when the weight of the blade is equal to that of the handle.



Temper



Tempering the razor involves a heat treatment imparted to the blade during its manufacture. Razors can be purchased with either a hard, soft, or medium temper, each with its own set of pros and cons.



Size



The size of the razor refers to the length and width of the blade.



Grind



The grind of a razor refers to the shape of the blade. There are two basic types of grind: the concave grind and the wedge grind.



Finish



The finish of a razor is the condition of its surface, which may be either plain steel, crocus (polished steel) or metal plated (nickel or silver). The crocus finish usually lasts longer and shows the least rust of the three.



Style



The style simply refers to the overall design and look of the razor.



In addition to purchasing the straight razor itself, you must also buy a few additional items in order to maintain the blade:



Strop



All straight razors require daily stropping before and after use to straighten and re-align their edge. Individuals with coarse beards may also need to strop their razors during a shaving session. Stropping involves passing the blade in a back-and-forth motion over a strop, which is usually made of leather. Strops come in both belt and paddle styles. Belts often have a leather side and a linen/cotton side, while paddles can have 2, 3, or 4 sides.



Strop Paste



Strop paste is a leather conditioner that is used to protect and condition the leather strop, while improving stropping by causing additional drag on the razor. There are several strop pastes available, usually in different colors, and each has a different purpose. When choosing your stop, discuss with the salesperson which strop paste is right for you.



Hone



Even with daily stropping, all razors lose their edge over time. To replace the edge you will need to periodically hone your razor. Honing re-establishes the fine edge of the razor by actually removing some of the metal from the razor (as opposed to stropping, which simply reshapes the edge). Ask your salesperson for a recommendation on how often you should hone the razor you choose. As a general rule, you should hone your razor when it starts to drag on your face, even after you have stropped it properly. Always use a hone specifically designed for razors (not for kitchen or hunting knives), with a minimum of 6,000 grit (8,000-10,000 is preferred).



Consult with your salesperson or an experienced straight razor user on proper stropping and honing techniques. A traditional barbershop textbook may also provide detailed examples of honing techniques.

Straight Razor Care



In addition to stropping and honing, care should be taken to prevent corrosion from forming on the razor. With this in mind, you should rinse your razor after each use and allow it to thoroughly air dry before putting it away. Keep the blade lubricated with a light grade oil after each shaving session.



Straight razor shaving tips



All of the advice provided in the "wet shaving" section applies to the straight razor section as well. However, there are a few techniques specific to straight razor shaving that are described below.



Many men report they get the best results with a straight razor used in combination with a traditional shaving brush and a glycerin-based shave soap. (Click here for more information on the use of shave brushes and shave soap.)



Once you have prepped your face and beard in the manner described in the "wet shaving" section, open your razor to 270 degrees, so the handle is pointed up and the blade edge is pointed down. This position allows for good control while shaving. Run the blade under hot water just before use. Begin with the side-burns and cheeks, then the neck, then the upper lip and chin.



One of the great benefits of a straight razor is that you can adjust the blade angle for different parts of the beard and face. When you are first starting to shave with a straight razor, begin with a more forgiving blade angle of around 90 degrees against the skin. Once you have learned to handle the razor adeptly, you may try more aggressive angles, up to about 30 degrees. The razor should glide smoothly over your face. Rinse the razor under hot running water frequently to remove oil, soap and hair.



Be careful to never move the razor in a cutting motion parallel to the blade edge; you will cut yourself. Also be careful to not hit your razor on the sink as this could permanently damage the razor's edge.

WET SHAVING TOOLS



Disposable razors



A major advantage to disposables is that they are convenient and readily available. One drawback is they involve a lot of waste-- either the entire razor is thrown away in the case of one-piece disposables, or the cartridges are thrown away in the case of disposables where you keep the razor handle. Plus, cartridges tend to be more expensive than buying individual blades. If you've found a specific brand that works well for you, by all means stick to it. However, if you are considering costs over a lifetime of use, a quality double-edged safety razor with replaceable blades might save you money in the long run.



Double-Edge (Non-disposable) Safety Razors



The double-edge safety razor is a great value among wet shavers. This type of shaver has a sturdy handle and a shave head that are typically made of metal. The user can open the metal head and insert a new double-edged replacement blade once the old one has become dull. Replacement blades are inexpensive, easy to find, and provide two shaving edges per blade, so they last twice as long. These razors provide a clean, close shave, and if properly cared for, there is no reason why a well-made safety razor shouldn't last a lifetime.



Straight razor



See the previous section for details on the straight razor.



Shave brushes



The shave brush is an important part of the shaving process that has been left behind by many over time, but it is a wonderful tool for preparing the face for shaving.



The best quality shave brushes are made from 100% badger hair. Badger hair is very fibrous and retains a large volume of water, which is key to producing a warm, rich and lubricating lather for an exceptional shave. Shave brushes are also made of synthetic fibers (the least expensive and least effective), boar bristle (better than synthetic, not as good as badger), or synthetic/natural blends, but badger hair works the best of them all. Badger hair brushes are then graded into three categories: Pure badger (least expensive of the badgers), Best badger (more expensive than Pure badger), and Silvertip badger or "Super badger" (most expensive of all).



If cared for properly, shave brushes should last many years, so it may be wise to invest in a Pure badger brush ($20-$80) as it will perform well for some time. If your budget constrains you from being able to go with a badger brush, Boar bristle brushes tend to be comparable in price to synthetic brushes, but usually far outperform them.



Shave brushes are usually used in combination with a glycerin-based shave soap and a shave mug (see below), though you can use them with shave creams as well. To work a shave soap into a lather inside your shave mug, first drench the brush bristles with warm water. Brush the shave soap in a circular, whisking motion with the shave brush until a rich lather forms. Do not press down on the bristles, as this may damage the brush-- simply move in quick circular motions.



The lather you create with a shave brush and shave soap will not be a thick like the foam that comes out of a shaving cream can. It will be a thinner, yet rich lather. If you seem to be getting what looks like bubble water, you either haven't worked the lather enough, or you added a bit too much water. Experiment until you produce a good lather.



Use the brush to apply the lather to your beard in small, gentle, circular motions, or in gentle painting motions. Do not press the bristles hard against your face, as this could damage the brush. The action of the brush helps lift the hairs while laying down a slippery barrier of lather. This barrier reduces razor drag and skippage. You can renew the lather on your face while shaving by simply reworking the lather with the shave brush.



Always rinse your brush well under warm water after each use and gently flick out the excess water. Stand the brush upright in a dry environment or place it on a shave brush stand, allowing it to air dry fully after each use. Never put a wet shave brush in an enclosed place. A very basic brush stand costs about $4-5, and will keep your brush in good condition for years to come.



Shave soaps



A good shave soap can used along with a shave brush make a difference in the feel and closeness of your shave. A basic, glycerin-based shave soap will generate a rich, slippery lather for a close shave, and has a few other virtues as well: it is biodegradeable and there is no canister to discard nor propellants released into the air. Shave soaps also tend to be inexpensive.



Shave soaps look like ordinary soap (white or colored) in the shape of a hockey puck. Some shave soaps come in their own special bowl-like containers, but it is usually less messy to use a shave soap and brush with a shave mug.



Shave mugs



Shave mugs look like ordinary mugs except they are larger overall, and wider at their opening than at the bottom. This allows for room to put the shave soap in the bottom of the mug, as well as room to whip the soap into a lather with your shave brush.

Shaving Products For Facial Hair... ?????

How Often Are You Suppose to change your safty razor?... or the blades on it...



and whats a good brand of after shave?



Shaving Products For Facial Hair... ?????

You change the blade when it becomes dull enough to be uncomfortable.



One after shave is about as good as another. It is basically a matter of what fragrance you prefer. For the last 18 years, I've used Safari by Ralph Lauren.



Doc



Shaving Products For Facial Hair... ?????

Aloha from Down Unda!



Each %26amp; every time!



Or use an electric triple headed shaver such as Norelco, Remmington or any ole electric if you really don't care to slice your throat repeatedly with those blades in the standard disposable Gillettes, Schicks, Bics, etc, etc!



I really like a product called "Prefered Stock' by 'Stetson' because of the smell %26amp; the reasonable price...there are others but they usually involve things like 'Old Spice', 'Mennen', 'Noxema' %26amp; any trip down the shaving gear aisle of the local supermarkets, drug stores or even 7-11, will reveal plenty of options!

What a waste of a question, don't throw yor points away, give them to me!



Can indians grow facial hair?

Indians and other middle eastern people often have an abnormal amount of hair all over their bodies, including faces. The hair grows almost on every part of their face.

I don't know what Narcissa means by 'abormal'. Indians, and often Arabs and Persians, tend to be hairier than (some) Europeans. They are definitely capable of growing facial hair. Of course the ability differs from person to person, so this is a generalisation, and everyone is unique.

Clean shaven or facial hair? Ladies, which you prefer?

Recently single and back on the market so to speak. People say either look works for me. Should I stay clean shaven or grow back my goatee?



Clean shaven or facial hair? Ladies, which you prefer?

I've got to say I love the stubble. Even tried to get the guys I've went out with to grow a little if they had none before. Maybe you should try clean shaven for a week then go to the goatee. See what the results are of the ladies falling at your feet.



Clean shaven or facial hair? Ladies, which you prefer?

clean shaven or sexy 5 oclock shadow, nothing more than that. Look at an internet dating site and see how many men have hair. That's why they are on an internet dating site. They grow gross beards and mustaches that make the ladies want to vomit. A lot of women are turned off by facial hair.



Clean shaven or facial hair? Ladies, which you prefer?

Keep it clean, unless it looks good on you.



Clean shaven or facial hair? Ladies, which you prefer?

clean, clean, clean :) everywhere !



Clean shaven or facial hair? Ladies, which you prefer?

goatee feels so icky...i'll say, clean shaven. but i prefer 1 day old facial hair.



Clean shaven or facial hair? Ladies, which you prefer?

If you look good with both, it really depends on the girl. Most girls appreciate a bit of facial hair just so long as the rest of your face isn't too scruffy. I myself am a sucker for beards ^.^



Clean shaven or facial hair? Ladies, which you prefer?

Goatee is not in anymore. Girls are into clean looking bad boy's!



Clean shaven or facial hair? Ladies, which you prefer?

Facial hair for me. Especially a mustache but all types of beards too. Some men don't look good but clean shaven but my husband looks great with any type of beard.



Clean shaven or facial hair? Ladies, which you prefer?

i'd say just a lil goatee and keep it trimmed really nice. if you aren't going to keep it up nice then none at all.



Clean shaven or facial hair? Ladies, which you prefer?

It depends on the guy, some of my guy friends look great with a beard.



My boyfriend should not be allowed to have one, he would look strange with it. And it is really scratchy when we kiss.



Clean shaven or facial hair? Ladies, which you prefer?

clean shaving....



Clean shaven or facial hair? Ladies, which you prefer?

How to remove facial hair permanently?

Laser removal!



How to remove facial hair permanently?

you'd have to get electrolysis



How to remove facial hair permanently?

lasic hair removal



How to remove facial hair permanently?

lazer or electrolysis.



not quite as good, but still very good, is waxing



How to remove facial hair permanently?

Lasic hair removal!



How to remove facial hair permanently?

Electrolysis works, but also getting your doctor to balance your hormones properly works too. Electolysis is more permanent than topical creams or hormone medication though.



How to remove facial hair permanently?

You should look towards laser hair removal. I go to Neoskin and it's great:]



How to remove facial hair permanently?

I honostly do not think there is any "permamnent" method. Laser might work. Electrolysis is how they seperate the hydrogen and oxygen in water.



How to remove facial hair permanently?

You can undergo Laser Hair Removal method.



Going on clinics with such devices will be too expensive so it's better to have your own device which you can buy somewhere (you can order on the internet).



This procedure will also take about 8 sessions (one session every month) in average.



Hair will still continue to grow but will be more thiner and less visible as you progress with each session.



On the 8th session, most of the hairs will PERMANENTLY be removed as the source of growth is terminated. And incase of other hairs that will still grow, they won't be visible as they are too thin and light in color.



However, this procedure should NOT be used by black people because the laser acts on dark substances which should only be the hair alone.



If you want to do this in a cheaper way, then buy your own laser hair remover device which will save you a lot of money and that you can do it on your own. You can even use it for unwanted hair under your arms, on bikini lines, legs, arms, etc.

If you wax facial hair, does it grow back quicker and thicker?

Not in my experience, shaving causes the thicking, waxing seems to cause thinning, and eventually a lot of the hairs will not grow back ...



the downside is ingrown hairs if you are not really careful with disinfecting (i use rubbing alcohol on a cotton swab) ... if you apply makeup the same day, you are likely to get clogged pores, too ...



If you wax facial hair, does it grow back quicker and thicker?

yes plz avoid it



If you wax facial hair, does it grow back quicker and thicker?

yeah!



If you wax facial hair, does it grow back quicker and thicker?

No, in my experience you should be good for a while (up to 3wks). It depends on how coarse your hair is.



If you wax facial hair, does it grow back quicker and thicker?

no. It only appears to be growing back thicker because you went from having nothing to having the hair again. Nothing you do to remove hair will make it grow back thicker. If that was the case no one would complain about thin hair because all they would have to do is cut it off and it would grow back thicker..



If you wax facial hair, does it grow back quicker and thicker?

No on both counts as far as my personal experience!



If you wax facial hair, does it grow back quicker and thicker?

no.



shaving it will make it grow back quicker and appear thicker, this is because the hair now has a blunt end from shaving instead of a tapered end, as it would actually grow.



Waxing will possibly do damage to the folicle, potentially preventing regrowth of the hair. (this does not happen to every hair every time - but it does happen)



If you wax facial hair, does it grow back quicker and thicker?

NO I DON'T THINK SO BUT THEN AGAIN I NEVER TRY ED IT



If you wax facial hair, does it grow back quicker and thicker?

yes, it does. But what i do, i wax it, then just continue plucking it when it grows back out. Its a little painful but it works. your hair will come out less thick



If you wax facial hair, does it grow back quicker and thicker?

its ok 2 wax. hair do not become thick.



If you wax facial hair, does it grow back quicker and thicker?

yes it does. try bleaching the hair instead ,it is much more better.



If you wax facial hair, does it grow back quicker and thicker?

No, but it is painful and can make your face brake out. I use dibilatory cream that removes hair. works better.



If you wax facial hair, does it grow back quicker and thicker?

half these ppl have no idea what there talking about....



if you shave your facial hair or any hair for that matter it grows back thicker and faster and sometimes darker...if you wax it grows back alot slower and thinner as well and wont hurt as much the next time because the hair is thinner and there isn't as much...so i suggest going to a salon and getting it professionally done because they know what their doing...depending where the hair is on your face most places dont charge over 30$....30$ being for the whole face...



If you wax facial hair, does it grow back quicker and thicker?

No if u wax facial hair it would grow out thicker but it wont grow until like two weeks



If you wax facial hair, does it grow back quicker and thicker?

no waxing is ripping the hair out of the follicle which damages the follicle, including its nerve endings so each time it will hurt less and less, which also sends it into a sort of shock and is weaker and weaker everytime the hair has to grow back. another option than many people dont know about is something called threading. its a middeleastern hair removal technique and in the middle east the women do not like to have ANY body hair it is found extremly unatractive. try and look it up online for your area it is a service i absolutly love. my skin has never felt so soft.



If you wax facial hair, does it grow back quicker and thicker?

Hi,



I work in a beauty salon and we have many peeps coming in for there tashes to be removed!



The hair doesnt come back thicker or quicker as its removed from the root it will take some weeks to come back again but hair grows in different rates so some might come back sooner than others. It doesnt come back thinner but it does appear tho be thinner as the end is tapiered creating a smoother finer hair.



as some have said it can cause spots when make up is applied and yes in growing hairs can happen. Using tea tree lotion afterwards can help as its a anti bacterial and soothing. I would only advise facial waxing to be done professionally in a salon.



Xx



If you wax facial hair, does it grow back quicker and thicker?

The more you wax hair the finer it will become. I don't have facial hair but I have all of my other hairy areas waxed! And they all are much finer after years and years of waxing.



Sometimes over time the follicles can become so damaged that some of them will even stop producing a hair.

I just don't like the look of facial hair, or the feel of it. A little stubble is ok sometimes but beards and moustaches are scruffy looking and (to me anyway) unnatractive.



Why do women prefer guys wit no facial hair, than guys wit facial hair?

Men who have facial hair what are the reasons you keep it on your face?

There are many reasons, including these:



- They simply hate shaving. They'll shave infrequently, or they'll maintain their facial hair.



- They like the "style".



- To appear more mature if they are young or have a "baby face".



- To hide facial blemishes



- To help mask their face if they have a low self-esteem



- To help give a more defined jawline if they are overweight



Men who have facial hair what are the reasons you keep it on your face?

Because the ladies like it!

Men who have facial hair what are the reasons you keep it on your face?

I don't keep it there, it just keeps growing there. When you get to be an adult you to will understand.



Men who have facial hair what are the reasons you keep it on your face?

It's too much work to shave it off every morning.



Men who have facial hair what are the reasons you keep it on your face?

My boyfriend has a little mustache with goatee thing. (I don't know what it is called) he has it because I said he would look sexy with it.



He keeps saying he is going to shave it off, but he has had it for about 3 weeks right now.



Men who have facial hair what are the reasons you keep it on your face?

Too lazy to shave mostly :). But when it started to get grey I had to hack it back to a goatee.



Men who have facial hair what are the reasons you keep it on your face?

to hide the unholy features that they楹搗e got



Men who have facial hair what are the reasons you keep it on your face?

I think it looks good but more importantly my wife thinks it is sexy.



Men who have facial hair what are the reasons you keep it on your face?

To hide the face so that the hidden charm will shine through!



Men who have facial hair what are the reasons you keep it on your face?

All Bikers have hair on there face. And the little woman likes it when I give her mustache rides!!



Men who have facial hair what are the reasons you keep it on your face?

My husband does it to hide his face as he has low self esteem thanks to an ex girlfriend of his......And as he was with her for so long he doesnt think that anyone else could possibly find him attractive, (even though i married him, weird thinking i know.) From what i learnt in my psychology classes though some do it to hide a secret too, or because they are dishonest.....there are other reasons as well but as i havent long woken up i cant think of them right now.



Men who have facial hair what are the reasons you keep it on your face?

Because I prefer the way I look with it. Besides, it keeps my face warm in the winter. It takes a little extra work to maintain it, but I like it.



Men who have facial hair what are the reasons you keep it on your face?

i work overnights 7 days in a row...when my 7 days off come...I shave off all my facial hair...it looks tacky...only certain guys look appealing with facial hair...



Men who have facial hair what are the reasons you keep it on your face?

for regular guys, mostly because they are lazy and don't want o shave. And, honestly, it hurts sometimes. If you havent' done it in a while, your skin isn't used to it and cuts easy and the blades not only cut the hair but also pull it. As for me, I have worn some kind of uniform practically all of my life and always had to keep a clean shave. Now, that i do not HAVE TO shave, i let it grow 2-3 days before trimming it. Kinda making up for all the years i couldn't i guess.



Men who have facial hair what are the reasons you keep it on your face?

i think some guys look sexy with it



Men who have facial hair what are the reasons you keep it on your face?

pure and simple laziness

Men who have facial hair what are the reasons you keep it on your face?

i also wnt to know because i hate it everytime you have to kiss them all you feel is hair is grosss



Men who have facial hair what are the reasons you keep it on your face?

because they are lazy and it makes them looks older. young guys like i dont know 20-30year old.



Men who have facial hair what are the reasons you keep it on your face?

I insist that my boyfriend keeps his facial hair, good combination with his bald head. As long as the guy keeps it well groomed it is very sexy.



Men who have facial hair what are the reasons you keep it on your face?

oh because it's easier to be lazy and shave when you have to



Men who have facial hair what are the reasons you keep it on your face?

Why does my facial hair grow faster at times than others? Is there a reason?

I'm in my mid 20's. Can stress contribute to it? I just started a new job 2 weeks ago and going to school at the same time. I don't feel stressed though. Recently it seems I need to shave twice a day. Where as usually I can go two days without having to shave.



Why does my facial hair grow faster at times than others? Is there a reason?

temperature, stress, the kind of food youve been eating. ask a dietician or go to a nutritional website and see if they have any info on the food-hair relationship. im kinda thinkin thats what it is.
