Prevent Hair Bumps by Using a Good Shaving Brush
Are you still using your fingers to smear shaving gel over your face? If you wet shave a shaving brush should be included in your tools for shaving. They come with multiple benefits and can be especially important for fighting hair bumps.
Here are some benefits of using a good shaving brush:
Create a richer lather. A good badger brush absorbs hot water and when dipped into your shaving cream and applied to your face, the brush releases and mixes the hot water with the shaving cream as you move the brush back and forth. The combination of hot water mixing with the cream and the agitation of the back and forth movement creates a richer, thicker lather that you will not normally get from using your fingers. A richer lather of course means less dragging of the razor over the skin.
Gentle Exfoliation. A shaving brush will gently exfoliate. In an up and down sweep of the right brush, hundreds of dead skin cells can be removed before shaving.
Opens the pores. Like warm water, it will open the pores of the skin.
Lifts the hair. It lifts the hair in preparation for shaving. Having the hair positioned at the right angle forces the hair to re-grow upward rather than downward into the skin. In contrast, applying by hand can mat the hair in a downward position or lift the hair unevenly.
Softens the hair. One of the greatest benefits for those suffering from hair bumps, a good brush will help to soften the hair before shaving.
If you have not considered using a brush for shaving before I have given some great benefits for you to consider using one.
