I really want to just say, "Thank you", for teaching young men who may not have someone to show them how simple and natural it is to groom yourself well. I love that you have learned how valuable reading a label can be.😊
I used to get earaches when I was a kid; my mother would rub some Vaporub all around the outer ear and in less than minutes the pain would be gone. Years later I mentioned this toy doctor and he explained that it tends to warm the area, and this made the earwax more fluid and it was this effect that made the earache go away.
The Asian version of this is called Tiger Balm. My mom used it for everything from bruises, to colds, earaches and mosquito bites. I swear I saw her make a tea out of it to relieve gas too! Imma try this and maybe the Tiger Balm next time when edging up. Thanks.
being southern raised when my older siblings and I were severely ill in the winter with bad cold or pneumonia as children our mother would have us swallow a teaspoon of Vick's and then put a couple of table spoons in hot water and cover our heads with a towel to breath in the Vick steam . needles to say it always worked .
Put Aloe Vera gel for skin irritation and Witch Hazel. Witch Hazel first to remove excess hair and oil then Aloe Vera gel. Witch Hazel is better because it does not have a high alcohol content like Seabreeze😀 I am a Licensed Cosmetologist and I have male clients that suffer from the same thing, one of my clients brought me lunch after I recommended these😀
Andy Russell Actually yes witch hazel doesn’t have a high alcohol content so it will work well for that use a white washcloth and after put a light oil on skin😁
Andy Russell Since it’s summertime and you go outside do sunscreen instead that will keep your skin from burning the oil will make it burn 😀 and we don’t want that
FYI...I used Vicks to get rid of toenail fungus after having it for years. It worked like magic. Before going to bed, I rubbed some on my toenails trying to it underneath my nail as much as i could . Then I put a pair of socks on and went to bed. I'd say within a month or less the fungus was gone. I told my friend who had the same thing and he also tried it and to his surprise it worked for him too. I don't know if it works for everyone but it's worth a try.
I found your channel a few months ago and you have really helped me to get my skin on my head and neck in really good shape . I really enjoy your videos and this is coming from a old white man lol by your trial and errors it had done wonders for me especially from the Noxzema tip , keep up the good work man
I’m going to order the vapor rub today also and do you have any recommendations on what brand of African black soap to use on my face and head ? Thank you in advance
hi menthol is also a mild pain reliever and anti inflammatory, i have heard that it can also help itchy skin, nice work dude, good research.I drink mint tea in the summer really refreshing. :-)
Thanks for the information brother. now I know why my Caribbean grandmother uses this on us for everything...lol..I us it for everything even for cuts headaches and a lil bit for sore throat...it also make my face feel and brand new
I smoke menthols. The "cooling" makes the smoke just a little easier to draw the smoke down to your lungs. I don't really feel it in the chest, more in the nose and throat. Good on you for not smoking!
I have sensitive skin that gets irritated easily. I use oatmeal to relieve the irritation. Oatmeal leaves a protective coating on your skin that traps moisture in and keeps dirt from entering your pores.
Adding essential organic 100 percent pepermint oil to moisturizing body wash works well too. Vicks is a little greasy and can clog pores. The pepermint oil in body wash also cools you down in extreme heat and makes a hot day or night a lot more comfortable. Great for women with hot flashes. NOW brand is a good one and very reasonable in price. you can find it at most natural grocery stores and also on amazon.
Another great use for Vicks vapor rub is for dry tired eyes, slather on about a teaspoon each eye and gently massage it into the eye. The effects may be stimulating at first, but you will see your dry tired eyes will be wetter than a crocodiles back
gday mate, im only a recent subscriber. over here in australia we use viks for nearly everything. you can even google other uses for viks. any ways im liking your work
Thanks man, gonna start looking closer at the ingredients. Sometimes I feel like I'm holding people up at the supermarket when I do but it sounds like its worth it.
This was amazing you did your research and gave us your honest opinion. Didn't promise us anything and encouraged us to look it up ourself but this was your suggestion. Great video! Definitely going to subscribe to channel.
More like , go yo black arse too sleep,ain't nothing wrong with you ,, U bet not miss that bus in da morning , I'm telling you ur arse going to dat school house in the morning!!!
all of those ingredients are great for inflammation and soothing. I'm a pharmacy tech and your on point.neva can get too much knowledge bro💯thanks for sharing.
Use 100% pure Tea Tree Oil after shaving. It is soothing and has antiseptic qualities too. I shave my head with a safety razor and use Voskhod and Personna blades.
I tried skimming a bunch of your beard videos and couldn't seem to find what I was looking for? Do you have a vid on your actual care routine? wash,comb/brush, oil etc? My beard is super thick and it curls. Does you trimming it keep the hairs straighter? Thanks
I knew about the cold stuff from my mom too. But I didn't know about the lining thing I'll have to try that out Thank's I subscribe so I can check out your new ideal's & methods.
You broke down vics vapor rub like a pro big dogg.All jokes aside this video is a great example of intelligent research and narrative.Very methodical.Well done.
Bro I used the vapors and my bumps went away in one day yes. In one day. I might has very small razor bumps left but it did the trick. I am going to used it ever time I shave. I am only going to used the clippers I zero gape moving forward. The Andis dry shaver what gave me razor bumps. Stick to what I know.. I hate the fact I waste money on dry shaver.. I am so happy. Your video help me out big time. Also, someone from the comments below said used Shea 100 pure Shea butter that works too for black people skin. You be surprised what a person can learn...
Started flowing you recently. Lots of good info. I always want to shave my own head. Followed your instructions to a clean shave to avoid irritations. All came out well except I have this small dimple where I struggled with the razor. Irritation occurred. Can you give any advice how to better handle the area? Ultimate goal is to have a fresh shave daily. I generally visit my barber once per week. Thanks in advance!
Aye bro.....I just didnt know in general! Always knew Vicks was the goat for stuffy noise & such but I definitely appreciate all the knowledge! Solid ✊🏾
Any name brand non-scented after shave works for razor burn too, also post waxing gel with aloe. I am cursed with hella sensitive skin, I've tried it all bro, non-scented products are better for your skin period.
I have a receiting hairline so I don't gorw hair in the front but I grow it on the sides and in the back . So I just say the hell with it shave it all off . I got a question though . How ofren should I cut my hair on my head if I got a receiting hairline ? Cause I cut it every few months . Usually when I go down to my moms in Florida . But now I'm just doing it when I need it . Thank you for these though . They're imformative videos bro
Hey What do you think about the story of a fresh bar of soap in your bed to help you sleep. I've try this & it seem to really work. It begs the question whats in our soap?
just to give everyone a heads up if you have what's called a Dollar Tree store in your area these stores sell every product for a dollar or less ie: two for one dollar etc. anyway, this store sells a product which is exactly like Vicks Vapor rub the one this store carries though is a larger container with obviously more product in it and it's menthol content is higher. The brand named Vicks product is rather expensive but the comparable product sold at Dollar Tree is larger, better and way cheaper a win win. Just felt everyone should know. Also there are many, many other incredible things which these rubs are effective for. One interesting thing I found is if you have either toe nail fungus or athletes foot apply sparingly in affected areas daily and watch the fungus disappear. Also another interesting thing I found out is if you have a persistent cough, take this rub apply it to the bottom of your feet just before going to bed and then put fresh clean socks on, by the next morning when you awake your cough will be significantly less or gone all together. This rub has been found to ease the symptoms of acne when applied directly to affected area, must be applied lightly. If you research the applications that these Vapor rubs are effective for its amazing what you will discover. Thanks for the info you placed here in this video. It reminded me of the many usages I found out about with these rubs. The amazing thing is that they honestly work. God bless, much love to all.....
I never heard of toothpaste but the deodorant trick works like a charm every time . the toothpaste sounds messy and like it might burn your skin but who knows ..
I'M break down the syllables. But thank you for the information on Vicks for muscle spasms. I haven't used it for years. Mother would put it on us if we had sniffles, which was rare. She had her own remedy for colds, which included Oil of peppermint, lemons and Honey!!! We rarely if ever had a cold!!!👌👍👏. And she would also put in crushed peppermint sticks!!! We took it every Saturday and THE DREADED CASTOR OIL, YUCK YUCK AND TRIPLE YUCK!!! NEVER COULD SWALLOW THE STUFF. MY SON AND MY BROTHER USES IT NOW. 😱😱😰😰😵😵😱
I really want to just say, "Thank you", for teaching young men who may not have someone to show them how simple and natural it is to groom yourself well. I love that you have learned how valuable reading a label can be.😊
As a medication aide and a Hispanic ... I recommend this for anything even a broken bone lol Vicks is bomb every Mexican moms home remedy! 😊❤️️
My husband used it for a broken foot bone! It has camphor, eucalyptus, and menthol!
C Mar-Gonz
My uncle had AIDS and started using Vicks and he's cured now.
C Mar-Gonz Puerto Ricans use it too for everything 😂
sosweetbaby4 so do Dominicans.. lol
Sucka Free whaaaaaatttttt!!!!
I used to get earaches when I was a kid; my mother would rub some Vaporub all around the outer ear and in less than minutes the pain would be gone. Years later I mentioned this toy doctor and he explained that it tends to warm the area, and this made the earwax more fluid and it was this effect that made the earache go away.
Thanks for this information! Vics really helped a lot with razor bumps from improper shaving!
if your mexican you know this cures cancer
Josh Harris yes and the sour soup fruit.
Dominicans too, latinos already know the magic
Josh Harris Caribbean folks invented Vick’s 😅
Dont matter if you sound like a professor, your knowledge is very soothing #StaySolid ✊🏾
The Asian version of this is called Tiger Balm. My mom used it for everything from bruises, to colds, earaches and mosquito bites. I swear I saw her make a tea out of it to relieve gas too! Imma try this and maybe the Tiger Balm next time when edging up. Thanks.
dwnsouthtx210 nah dude it’s all about the eagle brand
dwnsouthtx210 it’s like tiger balm but way stronger and better
dwnsouthtx210 I know Tiger balm
dwnsouthtx210 I know Tiger balm
My grandad use to use this after he left the barbershop back in the late 70's early 80's....them old folks know some shit!
you favor Omari Hardwick.great advice.You made a great point.you can also use it to melt body fat when using topical then wrapped with saran wrap
put it on toe nails and soles of feet . It kills fungus, soothes athletes foot, and softens hard heels.
after shaving use witch hazel

Quick question: What about shaved head dry skin? Would witch hazel and aloe Vera work well for that?
Andy Russell Actually yes witch hazel doesn’t have a high alcohol content so it will work well for that use a white washcloth and after put a light oil on skin😁
Tarina Brooks which light oil would be good? Ex: Olive oil, Coconut

amber listirine works great for beard as well to clean and soften beard
hi menthol is also a mild pain reliever and anti inflammatory, i have heard that it can also help itchy skin, nice work dude, good research.I drink mint tea in the summer really refreshing. :-)
Thanks for the information brother. now I know why my Caribbean grandmother uses this on us for everything...lol..I us it for everything even for cuts headaches and a lil bit for sore throat...it also make my face feel and brand new
It also has salicylic acid..which is a pain reliever..because you can used uncoated dissolved Aspirin to treat hair bumps as well..
I smoke menthols. The "cooling" makes the smoke just a little easier to draw the smoke down to your lungs. I don't really feel it in the chest, more in the nose and throat. Good on you for not smoking!
I shave my head bald w/a str8 razor evry 2 days and I use Vick's Vapor Rub on my head after shaving. It works beautifully.
Yo man I used to use lucky tiger ointment for irritated skin . I believe it's still in production if you want a switch up from Vic's .
The ancestors spoke through you with this one

those clippers come with adjustment tool readjust your blades

+Rick Harrison lmao good one.
Rick Harrison that's too funny
I use peppermint essential oils for my headaches. Not for all headaches....tension headache works well.
did you try adjusting your trimmers? back the cutting blade off of the stationary blade just a bit. this should help with the skin irritation as well.
Elliott Neblett xxv
Vapor Rub helps my hair growth it's amazing to use. Vapor Rub feels like Gold Bond lotion because the menthol relaxes the skin and hair scalp.
Does it work for melisma too
Sweetie ladies use this on their feet too through the winter... keeps those feet feeling wonderful!!! Menthol

Very interesting video because I have a bunch home and had no idea.. But one more question does it also work on ingrown hair ?
I'm a medical assistant. I use it just under my nose if a stinky patient comes in. Can't smell a thing.
Michelle W lmaooooooo
gday mate, im only a recent subscriber. over here in australia we use viks for nearly everything. you can even google other uses for viks. any ways im liking your work
Does Vicks even remove the dark scars caused by picking the ingrown hair out??? Please reply!!
@bizz mann thanks for the reply.
Thanks man, gonna start looking closer at the ingredients. Sometimes I feel like I'm holding people up at the supermarket when I do but it sounds like its worth it.
Vicks rub is also good for finger and toenail fungus and foot fungus I'm a retired nurse I have used it at work on the treatment cart
You can use it on any itchy rash and it will take the itch away. Bug bites etc
I appreciate the Vicks tip I’ve been using it for 3 years now because of you✊🏾 🫡
This was amazing you did your research and gave us your honest opinion. Didn't promise us anything and encouraged us to look it up ourself but this was your suggestion.
Great video! Definitely going to subscribe to channel.
Growing up Black: *wake up at night* mama I can't breathe!! Mum: Vicks ✔️
More like , go yo black arse too sleep,ain't nothing wrong with you ,, U bet not miss that bus in da morning , I'm telling you ur arse going to dat school house in the morning!!!
Supr3me 😂 facts
That's right my parents kept Vick's around our house .
Also growing up Hispanic
Also growing up white!
Am a little late on this video but what works for me is when i shave right after I shower if I shave before I get my skin red.
all of those ingredients are great for inflammation and soothing. I'm a pharmacy tech and your on point.neva can get too much knowledge bro💯thanks for sharing.
Use 100% pure Tea Tree Oil after shaving. It is soothing and has antiseptic qualities too. I shave my head with a safety razor and use Voskhod and Personna blades.
Didn't work for me
there's a trick I knew for years cuz I usually get pimples on their my neck I use Vapor Rub I'll tell you what's even better Noxzema
what I use is actually aloe Vera and Shea Butter fir irritants. The aloe is great for irritations and cuts.
tooth paste works aswell plus this works to take away the redness from spots
Try some "Afta" pre-electric shave before and during and Afta aftershave after. It works great, probably even better than Vicks Vapor Rub.
Thanks for the info. I will definitely try it for my headaches, see how it works for them.
It also good for dark pots on skin and breakout with eczema
You can also use porasso green pre/post shave cream... Feels great. Keep it inside the fridge and it feels great
I tried skimming a bunch of your beard videos and couldn't seem to find what I was looking for? Do you have a vid on your actual care routine? wash,comb/brush, oil etc? My beard is super thick and it curls. Does you trimming it keep the hairs straighter? Thanks

Read the rest of the label. It says warning for external use only do not use by mouth and nose.
isaac hurns I've seen older people eat small amounts when sick with cold ect.
Vicks vapor rub knocks out sinus headaches quick. Used many times.
Hey hi my name is Mark Ritchie I just wonder Vicks will help pain body work?

Had to like the video because of the line about ppl not reading labels and not putting cup a noodles in the microwave
Lols
KPnDC damn 😔
KPnDC
.
it ain't working so well in the bbq either
tip for you, put a drop of tea tree oil on your clipper blades !! it will allow the clippers to glide and leave a cool tingle along the line !!
What's the difference between the Vicks rub and icy hot?? Do they do the same thing? As I don't know which one to use for sore feet/body aches
Will Vicks help with razor bumps?
yeah
Shea butter, coconut oil, and beeswax (if you got it) mixed with eucalyptus and Teatree oil and you have your own “Vick’s”.
@Adrian Garcia. ..Mountaineer complete beard kit and scotch porter beard products
You have to wash ur face before shaving. I use noxema.
Man you need to try B&C skin tight! That stuff works like a charm for razor bumps.
Works good when I first started using but it sucks now. Skin tight also drys the hell out of your skin causing dead skin
This is a wonderful video. Vicks is an OLD OLD medicine. Great to see it re-discovered.
Shout out to brothers that read labels!!!

Hey What do you think about the story of a fresh bar of soap in your bed to help you sleep.
I've try this & it seem to really work. It begs the question whats in our soap?
What do you use to grow your beards thicker and fuller please?
you should've tried a hot rag then use the palmers or coconut oil.
BOYWOODU coconut oil is the only truth. you can rub that on to your face or ingest it. 🖒🖒
BLACK ROOK yes it is

the best thing for razor burn is deodorant the white kind it has to have the active ingredient aluminium zirconium trichlorohydrex
I never heard of toothpaste but the deodorant trick works like a charm every time . the toothpaste sounds messy and like it might burn your skin but who knows ..
how many times a day should i use? and how 2 use this how long should i put it?
I had a bad breakout of acne, used sum vicks cleared it up fast
the intro is sooo satisfying
I'm trying this I shaved my head hair coming back it itches and burns
Does this work for razor burn? The area above my lip is red.
Great vid. Just an FYI - methyl salicylate in ICY Hot is the pain killer. Derivative of aspirin - salicylic acid. 👍🏻
Use either one of these two products called Tend Skin or Skin Tight you can find the beauty supply store
Torry Jones Tens skin works well but it's mostly alcohol, you can just buy plain 90% alcohol for $10 less.
Crazy thing is I had a nasty and crusty mole used for about a month morning and night and it just got smaller till it disappeared good stuff
Bless u, great job preventing lice, bugs from ur beard. ur awesome blossom of being just being information. & being u.😇
Does anyone know if this would work for razor bumps on the back of the neck.
the first thing you said was that your trimmers are very sharp wow
you should try using witch hazel
vicks is pretty good but the best thing is Colgate,you can scrub it on you skin with a little water,try it and let me know
RAW SHARE BUTTER WORKS FOR ALL SKIN RELATED ISSUES BRO. BEEN USING IT AFTER LINE UPS FOR YEARS
rawleighs ointment works great too
you put me on game. I'm going start researching stuff I use
I'M break down the syllables. But thank you for the information on Vicks for muscle spasms. I haven't used it for years. Mother would put it on us if we had sniffles, which was rare. She had her own remedy for colds, which included Oil of peppermint, lemons and Honey!!! We rarely if ever had a cold!!!👌👍👏. And she would also put in crushed peppermint sticks!!! We took it every Saturday and THE DREADED CASTOR OIL, YUCK YUCK AND TRIPLE YUCK!!! NEVER COULD SWALLOW THE STUFF. MY SON AND MY BROTHER USES IT NOW. 😱😱😰😰😵😵😱
Carolyn Williams if you eat a qtr of orange it will get that taste of oil out of your mouth
