Wrong Shave Wrong Way (And how to fix it)
11:44 AMIt's that dreaded time again! The stubble has out grown it's stay and it is time to shave. You want it gone! The thing is, th...
Let me tell you now, it's okay. Sometimes we go through life not knowing simple hacks that can make our lives better. Harry's, a growing startup and men's shaving company, provides cool razors, shaving products, and great advice. I know what some of you are thinking, "Angela I am not a man". Let me just start of by saying some men's brands are good for your skin because they are usually created for shaving the face area, one of the most sensitive areas on the body. Plus, you don't need to be a man to get the inside scoop of what I'm about to tell you next.
Common Mistakes When Shaving And How To Fix It
Even though soap and body wash can help to shave they can also lead to trauma for your skin. No one wants that. That's like welcoming ingrown hairs and razor bumps into your home.
Try to avoid this simply by using shaving products. There are shaving products that will reduce the chances of inflammation after shaving, and prevent razor bumps and ingrown hairs. You just have to try out the product(s) that work for you! NEVER and I mean NEVER SHAVE DRY.
3. Avoid Leaving Your Razor Out
I know it's tempting to just leave your razor on the bar in the shower on at the sink but that is not a good idea. That makes it easier for bacteria and water to get on it which makes it dull faster and dirty.
All you really need to do is put it in a safe place. Make sure it's away from a lot of water exposure or even put it on a cute razor stand.
4. Wrong Shave Wrong Way
The causes of your shaving may even stem from the way you're shaving. Maybe you're shaving too hard, which can cause razor cuts, or you' re shaving in the wrong direction.
To get away from this, feel your hair. Which direction is it growing in? Shave with the grain and shave with a light hand. Again, I am not an expert but I usually see a reduction of ingrown hairs doing this. My preference is to shave from the bottom to the top but everyone is different. Too many strokes can cause abrasion resulting in darker under arms. I definitely have had that problem and I'm working on it.
5. 6 Day 7 Day 8 Day Throwaway
Last but not least, don't keep your razor too long. If you're like me you may buy disposable razors or you have replaceable razors tops.
Always remember when you started using your blade. And always remember between the sixth and the eighth day throw that blade away!
Also, ask your doctor, mom, aunt, or best friend. Getting advice from multiple sources can only help. Testing it out is your best bet too. If shaving is still not great on your skin try waxing or hair removal lotion, my favorite is Nair. I hope these tips were helpful. If they were or you have some tips of your own feel free to leave a comment below.

Sometimes I think I'm pretty great. Other times I compare my life to others greatness and think "What will I be great in?" Don't get me wrong, I know the talent in art I have. I also know that there are people that can't even imagine drawing the things that I draw. Unfortunately, insecurity and fear come into play and what I know to be true of myself can seem like such a faint noise in the surrounding sounds of life.

Living in New York we tend to have busy days and even busier nights. Therefore, we've always got to be ready for the minute transition. What's the minute transition you ask? It's that moment when you finally get home from whatever you were doing that day and your friend calls you up to have a spontaneous night of fun. They give you a time to be ready that's so soon you only have what feels like a minute to come up with a fun and flirtatious look. You don't want to say you can't make it in time because you don't know what to wear, right? Of course not! Thus, you're thrown into the twilight zone of the minute transition.
Being able to change a day look to night is a key skill to attain in the city. Without this adaptability, you may just end up in the F.O.M.O, fear of missing out, sinkhole. Surely, you wouldn't want to be in that position. That's why I'm here to make sure no one gets left behind in this fast-paced city!
