Wow, this is now a throwback question. 😲

I guess it's true that more people are growing out their hair or shaving products has gotten better, because this used to be one of the most asked topics on Black message boards.

'But it burns/discolors my skin!!'

There's different strengths. I use the gold/black can and let it sit there for 5-10 minutes. More sensitive-skinned cats should use the white/blue can. Test a patch of skin first, wait a couple hours after removing. Do not wash face before applying.​

Shave with a clipper first to take out the bulk of hair. Then when you use the blade, go with the grain, do light stroke, and do one stroke per area

You need a skin care regimen and a shaving routine. Soap, astringent mousturizer :dame:

If you going to shave with a razor make sure its brand new and disinfected.
its important to clean, then coat your skin with a good shaving cream, oil or soap suds, never shave against the grain use an astringent and mousturizer after shaving.
