If you found this short story relatable or found yourself in fear of a similar occurrence happening to you, I can tell you how to avoid coming face-to-face with this problem. You see, Larry made the mistake that many of us do; he bought into the “Big Razor” marketing campaigns.

Years of marketing had Larry believing, like many people, that the more blades on his razor, the better. You know, like a scalpel. Obviously, he was sorely mistaken, and it took a toll on both his appearance and his every-day life. By using a multi-bladed razor, Larry subjected himself to the effects of razor bumps and razor burn. What causes the pains of razor bumps, razor burn, and other things?

Although multi-bladed razors are not always the cause of skin irritation after shaving, they are probably one of – if not the – most common causes. While shaving, a multi-bladed razor can be irritating to the skin due to many razors dragging across the face or neck at the same time. In addition, multi-bladed razors could potentially get caught on some hairs, which leads to them pulling the hairs out of your face, disconnecting them from the root rather than masking them with a clean cut.

As a result, you could find yourself with a few ingrown hairs. And believe me, just one ingrown hair is enough to ruin your day. Skin irritation can also be caused from multi-bladed cartridge razors, because why wouldn’t five blades running across your face irritate your skin more than one? Seems like an intuitive concept.
