A member asked:
My boyfriend gets very bad razor burn on his neck when he shaves, and usually uses a cheap 3 blade razor. could a more durable 5 blade razor help?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Less blades better. : Blade number doesn't affect razor burns. If anything more is worse. It has to do with his skin's sensitivity and also the kind of barrier he uses for shaving.
