"Good. Shaving bumps can be a problem for you, as well as other men in the world today. My name is Sylvia Russell, and I'm going to show you how to prevent getting razor bumps. Listen, there are things on the market today that make all kinds of promises, but I'm going to tell you the real deal and things to prevent so that you don't get razor bumps. Make sure the first thing you do is use a moist, hot towel on the face. You must open up the pores and create a very moist surface for the skin. Make sure that you use a shaving cream that may be antibacterial, or something that is very emollient that has a lot of oils and moisturizers in them. Go ahead and shave in the direction of the hair growth. Only go against the hair when you need to get super, super close. Remember, make sure that you get a razor that has a really good and sharp blade. And don't use a dirty razor. Once you've cleaned your skin you're ready for your cream. Now you should use an after-shaving cologne or a moisturizing oil or some type of antibacterial cream on the face. This will help to prevent razor bumps and irritation. My name is Sylvia Russell and this is how you can prevent razor bumps."
