Razors are a very popular solution for both men’s shaving and women’s hair removal. However, to guarantee its optimal operation and to avoid that they could suppose a risk They require some care and periodic replacement.
What are the risks of uncleaned blades?
Over time, razor blades can become dull, dull, or rust. This not only compromises its operation, but can also be harmful to the skin. For example, the use of poorly sharpened blades can end up causing the appearance of red rashes in the area that comes into contact with the blade.
In the same way, a bad shave caused by a dull or dull blade can lead to the appearance of incarnated old men: curly hairs that do not break the skin as they grow and that cause small bumps or pimples. Not only that, but small infections can arise, both in these ingrown hairs and in the cuts that we can make with a blade in inappropriate conditions.
How to keep the blades in condition
To avoid all this, it is first necessary replace blade every so often. The specific frequency, of course, will depend on the use we give to the blade; Be that as it may, we should not use it more than 10 times (and even less, if we use it on large areas of the body).
Also, razor blades require some periodic cleaning, which can be done simply with water after each use, making sure that there is no hair or foam between the sheets. It is also not recommended to dry the blade with a towel, which can dull it further, but rather to shake off excess water with a few small taps on the side of the element. Finally, we must avoid disinfecting the blades with alcohol or similar substances, which can further damage them and shorten their useful life a little more.
