Have you changed the razor blade? 5 consequences of forgetfulness

You can't keep track of everything in the world. When was the last time you changed your razor (or razor blades)? When did she stop shaving altogether? Or when you saw how much dirt accumulated there? This is what happens when you forget about it.

To begin with, a little - obvious - theory. The fewer blades your razor has, the more often you need to change it. If you shave large areas (for example, legs), too. If the razor glides normally, but does not remove hairs well, it is also time for it to go to the trash. Everything is clear - good blades are not cheap, you can forget to buy new ones and stuff like that, but blunt razors are not useful either for shaving itself or for your health.

1. Dirt eats into the shaver

The longer you use old blades, the more bacteria, dead skin cells, particles of soap or shaving gel and, of course, your hair will accumulate on them. And it all doubles if you don't clean your razor well in the process.

2. She shaves worse and worse

You spend more and more time on this process, and the result becomes more and more sad. Moreover, more times you pass the blades over the same place and simply injure sensitive skin.

3. More stains in the shaving areas

Dull blades with multiple strokes irritate the skin around the hair follicles and turn them into raised red spots. At the very least, it hurts and looks unpleasant, and sometimes it hurts very badly, and even scars may remain at the site of severe irritations. In addition, the result looks well, very unaesthetic, especially when it comes to the bikini area, and you are going to the beach or the pool.

4. You might cut yourself

The more movements you do, the higher the risk of cutting yourself and drenching everything around with your blood. Such scratches also heal quite a long time. You may even have to postpone the next procedure.

5. The risk of infection increases

Old blades and skin irritation are a dangerous combination. There may be micro cuts that you will not even see. And through them it is easy to pick up an unpleasant infection like molluscum contagiosum. Plus, recent research shows that if you constantly shave your pubic hair, you can even get cold sores through micro-cuts!
