There’s really no need to live with ingrown hairs or dark spots! So many of our male clients when we meet them they tell us about their painful ingrown hairs and dark spots on their face and neck. Many have just given up on shaving, opting instead for clippering their facial hair to avoid the possibility of getting an ingrown hair and the unavoidable dark spot that appears after the ingrown is healed.
We know that a combination of Henson Shaving and Kaia Naturals Ingrown Bar is pretty much a slam dunk for guys who hate shaving because of ingrown hairs and dark spots. We are always excited to tell our male clients about the results and relief they will see and feel after using these products.
Henson Shaving AL13 Razor or Titanium Razor
The First Line of Defense for Ingrown Hair is using a razor that is designed by engineers to reduce flex and therefore irritation and ingrown hairs. The other key eliminate is having only one blade (an changing regularly!!). Multiple blades on a razor might make you feel like you are getting the closest shave but you are also causing the hairs to pop slightly under the skin which increases the risk of ingrowns dramatically.
TIP - use only mild pressure when shaving. The Henson is designed to present the blade near the bottom of your hair follicle, right where it meets the skin. By pressing too hard, you may cause excess blade friction, resulting is a more irritating shaving experience. Apply instead only mild pressure allowing the weight of the razor to do the work.
