Been in the Air Force for 9 years and didn’t start growing facial hair until about 2 years ago. When i started shaving i started getting ingrowns and razor bumps. Went to med for it and was diagnosed with pseudofolliculitis barbae. They give you a waiver and some treatment ointment. Only reason I’m watching this video is because i need to take an official photo.
Hey Larry. My name is Kelvin living in the USA. T want to thank you for sharing really valuable information with all us black men with shaving problems. Please also keep the product information coming. Your skin looks great and I strive to look as good as I can at almost 60 myself. Many blessing to you and your barbering career.
Hey Larry I am sure that this is needed in Single Parent households where where is no Man to Teach these Life skills to the Younger Men so Good Luck with all You do !
Too Long Didn't Watch: Pre-Preparation: Take a hot shower or use a hot towel to open your pours, use a cream based shavecream to stand the hairs up to be cut down. 1: Use a single bladed razer to avoid hair growing incorrectly which causes inflamation and bumps 2: Test what works best for your face over time with going against the grain, with the grain, or across and stick with the best outcome 3: Exfoliate, removing dead skin from your pours twice a week so you dont shave dead skin instead of your hair 4: Close the pores to prevent infection or things getting into them. Use an astringent to close the pours like "Witch Hazel" Breakdown: 9:33
I've never once been so grateful to have seen a TH-cam video. Larry... I was certain that everything I did was wrong because I didn't use more razors or enough alcohol based shaving cream or spray. Also I thought pores should be closed before shaving to minimize ingrown hair. I feel so dumb. Also I'm super insecure about razor bumps and ingrown hairs like you can't imagine and worst of all it's on the face! That condition really affects my self-esteem man, thank you so much for the priceless information Larry, you've been better than doctor Oz.
I agree with you completely. I am a young man but get razor bumps and just recently I have been researching ingrown hairs to see if I have a slight case of it. The bumps on my face is effecting my self esteem also..
My daily shaving regime: - Use Keihl Oil Eliminator exfoliating face wash on a Spin Brush to clean my face - Rinse with warm to hot water - Shave with Andis clippers (with the grain) - Rinse with warm to hot water, pat dry - Apply Skin Tight (extra strength) to a jumbo cotton ball and dab the shaved area - After about 30 seconds, apply a layer of 100% organic Aloe Vera Gel - Turn my clippers on and dip them in H-42 for 1 minute to sanitize. Dry them off. Cover my blades, store my clippers and start the process over the next morning. Not saying this process will work for you but I’ve seen fantastic results. And trust me, I’ve tried several approaches with only minimal success. Good luck, brothers!
Thank you for the videos, I'm female but I have a hormonal imbalance where I have to shave my entire chin/jaw/neck/sideburns like a man. I'm black, so hyperpigmentation is VERY hard to manage so I'm hoping following your advice will make the damage less noticable.
I have found that using the product 'Skin Tight ' eliminates shaving bumps...period! It comes in regular for sensitive skin or extra strength for guys with bad razor bumps. It works virtually overnight. If you have bad bumps, shave with a fresh blade like normal, dry your face and then apply. It's going to burn like heck at first, but that's because of the pores being open. But it works. It also works for those who shave their heads. Apply on the back of the head and especially the neckline. At first try this method before bed, and check the results in the morning. Apply twice daily on affected areas, and brothers as sure as s**t stinks you'll see results. Thank me later.
For black folks with facial hair (also white folks with coarse/curly hair), shave in this order 1) Use an electric razor on dry skin to shave the first layer of thick facial hair 2) Have a warm shower. Optional to use a mild exfoliating agent to cleanse the face 3) After shower, apply shaving cream and massage for 1 minute 4) Use a brand new single razor or straight edge blade (single use only) and shave in direction of growth 5) Rinse off with cold water or pat down with cold towel rinse 6) Apply aftershave cooling balm / cream moisturizer to tighten and close pores Voila! If after this you still suffer ingrown hairs no one can save you
I don’t think anyone should be using a multi led cartridge anymore tbh. Great video! Lots of knowledge here for people who need it. I am one of those for sure.
ive just started shaving as a (black) middle teen and this information was invaluable to me. thank you so much for taking your time to explain each part carefully and for teaching those of us who dont know any better or haven't got someone to guide us. again, thank you Larry.
Awesome advice. Thanks. I've been doing everything you've just told me not to do! No wonder my head always breaks out! Looking forward to my new journey in shaving. Appreciate it.
Great video. I walked into a specialty shop in the mall who sales high end shaving supply and they described everything you just said. It confirms to me that this is the best way to shave, especially for a Black man as I have done it the wrong way before and met the consequences. Your videos and are perfect, detail, and thorough. Thank you for providing a more detail way which makes me more confident about using a razor. I have used T-Liner clippers which give me a good but nothing beats a real razor.
I find that once the face is ready for shaving it is also important to not press the blade against the skin but rather allow the weight of the safety razor to gently drag in the direction of the grain and also instead of doing long strokes, shave in small patches. The newer the blade the better and sharper for a perfect shave.
@Red Sunshine I shouldn't have said "buy" when I mean "use!" Think about how many different products we use on our face, body, hair and in our mouth each day. Each product has it's own group of chemicals that individually are dangerous over time. Add them all together, you get Cancers and all manner of other issues. We may not be able to do away with all but cut back or use natural ingredients in the home when possible. But that's just me...
@@mrlawilliamsukwarmachine4904 ice cold water makes the blade stiff. Combined with softened hair (preferably after a hot shower) you get a real close shave with fewer strokes. In my opinion.
I realize you posted this Over a Year Ago. But THANK YOU SO MUCH! I'M Dealing with Razor Bumbs and these annoying Razor-like bumps at the back of my head almost at the Top of my Neck. I have itching problem with my skinn period so I tend to pick at the Bumps at the back of my head. Ive been using soaps and Hydrogen Peroxide on both my face and my head. And YES WHEN IM ALL DONE I USE COLD WATER AND COLD PEROXIDE I SPRAY ON.
Great video. I gave up on razors because everyone of them gave me bumps. I thought the more razors on the blade was the better. This is probably why I was getting so many painful bumps.
'Skin Tight is the key towards getting rid of razor bumps is very true. All that he is talking about works well when you take your time and use the single blade razor. ( For me anyway) After using the single blade razor done need to use the "skin tight" as often. The man "Barber" is totally right. Wish he was around when I was a Youngman learning how to shave. I had to learn on my own and it was no fun men. Larry is the Barber man, he's telling the truth.
All I do is wash my face with madina aloa vera and shea butter soap (it also exfoliates the skin). Next, I later my face with the same soap and proceed to shave with a 5 blade Gillette shaver. Once I'm done shaving I wash my face with the same soap for a second time and rinse. One more thing. Always use warm or hot water (as hot as you can stand it but, burn your skin) this will open your pores. I've been shaving this way for over 10 years and have NEVER had razor bumps and my wife can't keep her hands off my face. She loves how beautiful my skin looks (me too).
Thank you so much for this video! I have tried multi blade and electric razors but still seem to get ingrown hairs when shaving my head. I admit that I am not very disciplined when it comes to my shave routine but this video definitely gave me the do's and don'ts for my sensitive skin and course curly hair. Thanks again!
Love the videos. Could you do you one on getting rid of razor bumps once they have appeared. What somebody should do immediately afterwards, what remedies can be used and when to start shaving again.
There are a few things for relieving acne at home Make sure you eat enough fruit and vegetables. Make sure you have enough sleep Avoid food that is processed or contains flavor enhancers make use of low or no sugar foods. (I read these and the reasons they work on Ayanas Acne Blog site )
Plenty of good advice. The witch hazel, shaving oil, mapping the grain and exfoliating are key to avoid more bumps. In addition, using an antiseptic cream also works wonders
Thank you. Your are very informal and easily understood in ya video. This helps me alot. I didnt have a father to teach or share with me simple knowledge of male hygiene. Sex ed, bbq, class, manors ect. My mom was my father too. So thank you for this video.
i noticed that i had this problem when i joined the army as i was meant to be shaving every day. i was referred to a doctor who surprisingly put me antibiotics. i thought it didnt make sense in taking them. second doctor advised me not to do close shaving and that has worked for me since
I'm not black, but as a trans woman trying to shave everywhere with thick coarse and curly hair, i've been having a lot of trouble. All your explanations makes soooo much sense now though! like it always felt so unocomfortable when i use the multi blade razors, but i kept telling myself "THESE R SUPPOSED TO BE THE BEST IT'S WORKING, EVERYTHINGS FINE" and now i know that my initial sense was right and why bc of this video. today i will be going to the pharmacy with you talking to me in my headphones as i rummage thru the aisles until i find every product needed based on your explanations, and doing the same thing in the shower tonight listening to ur instructions as I shave step by step. thank youuuuu so much!(: subscribed + liked
I had used a couple different types of cartridge razors before but when I switched to single blade it made a world of difference much cleaner and smoother cut I’d 100 recommend straight blade
This is so true. I only shave after a shower (wet face) and I exfoliate my skin while in the shower. The hairs on different parts of your face do grow in different directions. I shave in different directions. I dont get bumps . But when I was younger and didn't know, I got the razor bumps.
Followed the steps outlined, created a growth map and face felt great. Double layer protection was applied in two steps, first was base shaving gel to lift hair and second was a foam only applied in each direction as I went, didn’t need image just went inch my inch. Found out my under chin has a crazy sweep over to the left where most trouble happened. Thanks for the tips.
I was wondering why as my beard grew in more I had more and more ingrown hairs. Ima try this for a month and see if I see a difference. Good shit. Great video. Even it it doesn't work
Another problem is people shave with pressure. When pressing against the skin it cuts the hair under the skin level from the pressure. The blade needs to just glide across the skin to cut parallel as he said. Plus a soft bristle brush before a shave helps to kinda pull out those ingrown hair to prep for shave.
Larry I have a question. When is the best time to shave (early morning, morning, during the day or night)? And how often should one with ingrown hair problem shave per week.
Single bladed razors are cheaper than the multi bladed razors! I'm not black but I love my safety razor, purchased a pack of 100 for less than £10 and still got a load of them left, got them last year
Hi Larry, as a newcomer to wet shaving with a DE razor I've not done too bad so far. I mean I've not cut my face off. However I do get Razor bumps, rash and that firery feel quite often. Your vid is clear and concise but can you share your thoughts on the warm or cold razor blade issue. Some guides say warm the blade in warm water to get a softer blade then others say cool the blade under cold water to harden the steel?
One gem of a video! Truly the only one video I needed to watch.. and this is after 100s of videos in the youtube search result. Thank you so much. I have one question. My facial hairs are- for some reason, multi-directional. As in, below the chin, some are facing up, some are facing down. What do I do in that situation?
I tossed my electric razor a few months ago out the window and got into Straight Razors shaving. I couldn't even think about shaving twice within 10days. It got gradually better with the straight razor but i still have alot of ingrown hair in the neck area and the lil bumps just get cut off by the razor as if nothing happened, bleeding included. But your video thought me something i should've thought about; exfoliation. I kinda stopped doing it a year or so ago, but fact is, it helps with alot of things. Thank you sir, i will get on that.
I can tell you're a real Barber. That is what the Barber College teach. The beauty school do not cannot teach about razor shaving this is why lots of Barbers don't use the razor for their edges instead they think zero gap blades get close enough.
THANK YOU!!!!!!...I can't believe all the brothers that complain about razor bumps but won't use this product so thank you brother for your comment...and as a side note.if I hear one more brother complain in the voice of a 12 year old girl..don't that stuff stink! I'm going to hand them some panties 🤨
@@bphlatsax75 I would like to make it clear that in no way am I devaluing or discrediting this brothers advice. The information he's sharing is well intentioned and will surely help someone. It's just that I believe that we as black men need to spend more time and attention to the needs that are uniquely are own...peace and blessings dear brother.
@@davidbroadie5222 I'm not devaluaing it either but Magic Shave is a whole lot simpler and better than shaving with a razor. Especially if you have have to do all of the steps this guy suggested.
One of the most informative videos I have seen on this subject. I win the gold medal for being prone to razor bumps. I have the curliest black hair (4c) and sensitive skin. I use the wahl what a trimmer but still get bumps. I decided to grow a beard and bumps appeared everywhere. Now I am applying witch hazel and hoping that it reduces the swelling. Too many of the videos do not cater to black people with 4C hair. 'Just do this' and 'take this step'. Does not apply to 4c hair :O(
Bro you need to exfoliate and remove hair exfoliating takes the hair out of the skin and makes it grow back out or try laser treatment but say goodbye to a beard
I'm a bit anxious about using a single blade because I normally use Gillette's SkinGuard blade which has lots of built in safety things that the single blade doesn't have.
It’s interesting whether we can exfoliate right b4 shaving or if we should do it a day or two before shaving. Also if we can exfoliate after shaving or if the skin need to settle first, after a day or so.
Great informative video, I suffer with ingrown hair at the back of the head causing bumps, I trim my hair with a wahl ( no guard) , what steps do you think I can take to firstly clear the bumps up and secondly prevent them from coming back
1. Use a single blade not Multi blade. 2. Shave with the direction of the grain. Map the direction of your hair. Use non alcoholic based creams. Don't multi pass. 3. Exfoliate at least twice a week. 4. Prep: Open your pores with the shower. Then massage shaving oil into the bread. Next use non alcohol shaving cream. 5. Close pores with refrigerated witchhazel astringent
This was a great video Larry. I am surprised I haven't seen it before when searching for proper way to shave. I have been dealing with ingrown hairs for years and it driving me crazy. I have tried everything, but also doing it wrong. I will try the single blade as I have been using a multi blade. Also I have been shaving against the grain instead of with the grain. Sometimes I would use the hot towel and sometimes I don't. I will make the changes now seeing your video. Lastly I would it if you did a head shaving video tutorial. The prep and detail as you did this one. 😎👍🏾
Maybe being a whitey my stubble is different, but I have been shaving against the grain for almost 35 years with no irritation and no in-grown hairs (have never exfoliated either) . If I shave with the grain not only do I need more than one pass, but I get 5 o'clock shadow at around 11 am.
Loved the video One question You said exfoliate 2 times a week at least Could you do this too much?? My face is destroyed from bumps So annoying and looks so bad Single blade, after shower exfoliate, shave with the grain and after witch hazel or something Hope it works thanks 🙏
Greetings, and thanks for your time. Just clicked on your video. Would you happen to know of any plant-based alternatives to Magic Shave? Also, what about using black seed oil after shaving?
I'm a white guy with course thick curly hair, and very sensitive skin... And this is super useful for me! Thanks for the video
Wow! That's interesting. I never knew white guys could get shaving bumps
Shm. I appreciate you saying this. People really don't know the history of man.

Rinse your razor with very cold water after every few strokes and splash problem areas with very cold water when finished shaving.Works for me

Double layer protection was applied in two steps, first was base shaving gel to lift hair and second was a foam only applied in each direction as I went, didn’t need image just went inch my inch. Found out my under chin has a crazy sweep over to the left where most trouble happened. Thanks for the tips.
Xiicus hallucination how do u find out with way the hair grows
@@digrom3279 if you can run your palm over the hair and it smoothly flattens out in the Direction you're rubbing it in then that's the way it grows.
BLACK MEN!!! I use coconut oil on my head. Hope that helps future viewers (who are black). #BaldGang 🔥
I was wondering why as my beard grew in more I had more and more ingrown hairs. Ima try this for a month and see if I see a difference. Good shit. Great video. Even it it doesn't work
jona how did it work 6 months later
Another problem is people shave with pressure. When pressing against the skin it cuts the hair under the skin level from the pressure. The blade needs to just glide across the skin to cut parallel as he said. Plus a soft bristle brush before a shave helps to kinda pull out those ingrown hair to prep for shave.
Good advice.
Larry I have a question. When is the best time to shave (early morning, morning, during the day or night)? And how often should one with ingrown hair problem shave per week.
Day
Great video. Now subscribed. Never gave the hot towel stage any thought before. Your video will change the way in which I shave in the future.
This is exactly what I needed to hear. Sucks but hey, there's other things I can complain about.
Larry, you should do a video about the best way to keep your beard area clean when you have hair there! Which products and techniques should be used?
Single bladed razors are cheaper than the multi bladed razors! I'm not black but I love my safety razor, purchased a pack of 100 for less than £10 and still got a load of them left, got them last year
Hi Larry, as a newcomer to wet shaving with a DE razor I've not done too bad so far. I mean I've not cut my face off. However I do get Razor bumps, rash and that firery feel quite often. Your vid is clear and concise but can you share your thoughts on the warm or cold razor blade issue. Some guides say warm the blade in warm water to get a softer blade then others say cool the blade under cold water to harden the steel?
Really appreciate this video. Cleared up several issues I have been trying to get a better understanding of. Thank you
Your welcome - glad it helped
One gem of a video! Truly the only one video I needed to watch.. and this is after 100s of videos in the youtube search result. Thank you so much. I have one question.
My facial hairs are- for some reason, multi-directional. As in, below the chin, some are facing up, some are facing down. What do I do in that situation?
I tossed my electric razor a few months ago out the window and got into Straight Razors shaving. I couldn't even think about shaving twice within 10days. It got gradually better with the straight razor but i still have alot of ingrown hair in the neck area and the lil bumps just get cut off by the razor as if nothing happened, bleeding included. But your video thought me something i should've thought about; exfoliation. I kinda stopped doing it a year or so ago, but fact is, it helps with alot of things. Thank you sir, i will get on that.
Larry, I need you to check out Bump Patrol
Thank you bro I needed this video I have few razor bumps right now figuring out how to fix them
I can tell you're a real Barber. That is what the Barber College teach. The beauty school do not cannot teach about razor shaving this is why lots of Barbers don't use the razor for their edges instead they think zero gap blades get close enough.
Excellent content thank your for sharing your knowledge
Use Magic Shave. I've used it since high school and Im 44 yrs old. Never had a problem. Just need to read and follow the directions closely.
THANK YOU!!!!!!...I can't believe all the brothers that complain about razor bumps but won't use this product so thank you brother for your comment...and as a side note.if I hear one more brother complain in the voice of a 12 year old girl..don't that stuff stink! I'm going to hand them some panties 🤨
@@davidbroadie5222 i don't know why they are so afraid. Read the directions it's really simple. They tell you what not to do and what to do.
@@bphlatsax75 I would like to make it clear that in no way am I devaluing or discrediting this brothers advice. The information he's sharing is well intentioned and will surely help someone. It's just that I believe that we as black men need to spend more time and attention to the needs that are uniquely are own...peace and blessings dear brother.
@@davidbroadie5222 I'm not devaluaing it either but Magic Shave is a whole lot simpler and better than shaving with a razor. Especially if you have have to do all of the steps this guy suggested.
And a whole lot of chemicals
Thank you for taking the time to explain in your video!
i'm glad i watched your video. I was so close to buying a razor with multiple blades but your video informed me that i made the right purchase.
Chris Porter which purchase did u make if u don’t mind me asking
great video, I knew some of these but not all of them. thanks for the info
Very detailed and informative. Thank you!
Hope it helps
@@larrythebarberman It sure does, subbed! Keep it up...
Great information! Thank you!
Great vid, Larry! I will be sharing it on my skincare page!
How do you what direction your hair is growing? Trying to get my son situated he has ingrown hairs bad after joining military.
Is aloe vera shaving gel a good option for shaving?
Amazing Larry, picked up bits of this from the American straight razor sites but none of them put it all together so clearly. TQVM.
Lmao. It's funny how I'm watching this literally just before shaving, and I have multi blade razors.
One of the most informative videos I have seen on this subject. I win the gold medal for being prone to razor bumps. I have the curliest black hair (4c) and sensitive skin. I use the wahl what a trimmer but still get bumps. I decided to grow a beard and bumps appeared everywhere. Now I am applying witch hazel and hoping that it reduces the swelling. Too many of the videos do not cater to black people with 4C hair. 'Just do this' and 'take this step'. Does not apply to 4c hair :O(
Bro you need to exfoliate and remove hair exfoliating takes the hair out of the skin and makes it grow back out or try laser treatment but say goodbye to a beard
Use tend skin
I'm a bit anxious about using a single blade because I normally use Gillette's SkinGuard blade which has lots of built in safety things that the single blade doesn't have.
Great tips! Thanks. I'm going to put them to use now. Cuz my face is jacked up and itchy!
Very useful, going to start implementing these tips
Excellent info bro!!!
Thank you
Hi Larry great video my brother what shaving cream/foam do you use and also what oil, cheers brother from Lutalo.
blue beard revenge shaving cream - oil I no longer recommend using that
It’s interesting whether we can exfoliate right b4 shaving or if we should do it a day or two before shaving. Also if we can exfoliate after shaving or if the skin need to settle first, after a day or so.
i am white and i cant use the multi blade razor as well , getting razor bumps 2 days after using it...
Absolute brilliant, this is exactly what I needed. Thanks!
This video is extremely helpful.. thank you
Pores do NOT open and close. That said, your advice is solid.
Per Kolind I know this, but it helps simplify the process and effects - thank you for your kind words
Per Kolind I will be amending this video video in the new year, based on the numerous different comments
Mine do
Superb info. Thanks Brotha.
High time bumper stopper works great .
GREAT TUTORIAL 👍👍👍👍👍
Great informative video, I suffer with ingrown hair at the back of the head causing bumps, I trim my hair with a wahl ( no guard) , what steps do you think I can take to firstly clear the bumps up and secondly prevent them from coming back
I have been using the Tstone and the prestone gel and have not had a bump since. Go to www.tstonerazorbumpmaster.com/
Very helpful and informative. Thank you so much!
1. Use a single blade not Multi blade.
2. Shave with the direction of the grain. Map the direction of your hair. Use non alcoholic based creams. Don't multi pass.
3. Exfoliate at least twice a week.
4. Prep: Open your pores with the shower. Then massage shaving oil into the bread. Next use non alcohol shaving cream.
5. Close pores with refrigerated witchhazel astringent
This was a great video Larry. I am surprised I haven't seen it before when searching for proper way to shave.
I have been dealing with ingrown hairs for years and it driving me crazy. I have tried everything, but also doing it wrong. I will try the single blade as I have been using a multi blade.
Also I have been shaving against the grain instead of with the grain. Sometimes I would use the hot towel and sometimes I don't. I will make the changes now seeing your video.
Lastly I would it if you did a head shaving video tutorial. The prep and detail as you did this one. 😎👍🏾
Maybe being a whitey my stubble is different, but I have been shaving against the grain for almost 35 years with no irritation and no in-grown hairs (have never exfoliated either) . If I shave with the grain not only do I need more than one pass, but I get 5 o'clock shadow at around 11 am.
Ur blessed
Against the grain for curly
It's not the skin but the hair type lol
@@woke1497 agreed.
Wirey curly hair finds its way into the skin again
Don't thank me just listen at X1.5
THANK YOU
I love you
This dude talking at 0.25 speed , shit
You're a genius
WAYYYY BETTERRRR
Loved the video
One question
You said exfoliate 2 times a week at least
Could you do this too much??
My face is destroyed from bumps
So annoying and looks so bad
Single blade, after shower exfoliate, shave with the grain and after witch hazel or something
Hope it works thanks 🙏
This is awesome man! Thank you!
Greetings, and thanks for your time. Just clicked on your video. Would you happen to know of any plant-based alternatives to Magic Shave? Also, what about using black seed oil after shaving?
Very nice video! Great tips
