Question 1

how can i stop pain from shaving my face?

Accepted Answer

You can: Use warm towels to soften the hairs on your face before shaving. Are you using a shaving lotion that contains emollients/moisturizers? If you are doing these things and you still have pain shaving - you might consider evaluation by a dermatologist.

Question 2

how can i avoid a green face after shaving?

Accepted Answer

Uncertain: Do you use any products that contain dyes?  Is the green discoloration just at the hair follicle - if yes - I would get checked to rule out infection.

Question 3

my face had turned black due to shaving...what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Skin and shaving: Without seeing this in person i can only give you my best advice.  I wonder if you are not reacting to the chemicals found in your shaving cream. I wonder if the razor is dull and not clean--if you need to change or clean your razor.
I wonder if you need to stop shaving for several days to let your skin recover. And, i wonder if you shouldn't find a gentle after shave.

Question 4

how do i prevent scarring from shaving my face?

Accepted Answer

Scarring ?: Men shave daily for decades without scarring.  Use sharp razors carefully & moisturizer after.

Question 5

Shaving: Absolutely yes. You must wash your face before you shave to get the dead skin, sweat, oils etc.. Off. If you dont wash the shave will be less than perfect.

Shaving at what age: There is no fixed age for it.Some teenagers dont grow beard and moustache till they are 18 or so and some start growing facial hair at 10.When to shave is a personal and parental decision and varies.

Question 7

how can i stop my face from breaking out whenever i'm shaving?

Accepted Answer

Use good technique: Insure you use fresh, sharp blades vice dull blades. If hair is &gt; several mm long – then trim before shaving. Wash area before shaving – warm water helps to soften hair. Use a lubricant when shaving. Avoid using products that contain alcohol or are scented.  Shave in direction of the hair – not against it. Be gentle when shaving – don’t push down too hard. Moisturize skin after shaving.

Question 8

how can i stop my face from break out when shaving with razer?

Accepted Answer

Sensitive skin: Can be helped by using special razors and special shaving creams.  Try them and see what works for you.

Question 9

what can i use to clear my face up quickly? i believe i have folliculitis from shaving.

Accepted Answer

Folliculitis: Couple of suggestions  - avoid the triple and quad razors - they tend to cut the follicle off below the skin - creating the possibility of an ingrown hair.   I usually recommend a good otc facial scrub  that helps refresh the skin and cuts down on blind pores.  Any good acne wash will help reduce the level of skin bacteria as well.  A clean fresh razor will also help.
