Prevent Acne with Safety Razor

Acne is one of the major skin related problems we all face. More men seem to have this acne problem more frequently than others. While it is caused by several factors, the one we focus on right now is shaving. Yes that's right, shaving! Many men don't realize that the way a shave is done and the type of razor used contribute immensely to the outbreak of acne. To get a better understanding of this, it's good to understand the nature of the skin.


Men have a different skin type from females. The pores on the skin of men are bigger than that in females. Acne is caused when too much dirt and oils build up in these pores. Too much shaving with standard razors like cartridges can actually trigger an acne outbreak. This is because cartridge razors use up to 5 blades going over your skin at the same time. This causes excess oils and dirt to be forced down the skin pores. A good safety razor like Vikings Blade has just one sharp blade at a time that cuts through the stubble with necessarily pushing the oils into the pores.
