Whatever you use though if you follow the protocol for Zone Shaving you will arrive at a smooth face minus the bumps on the neck, and around Adam's apple. The shave is performed in zones Zone 1 is the neck up to the chin. Zone 2 include the chin and the area between bottom lip and point of chin. Zone 3 and 4 are cheek and jaw. First apply a thin layer of Bump Patrol After Shave to set the hairs up, let dry oh yeah use the Original, or Extra Strength. Make sure your blades are clean and lubricated. Begin shaving in zone 1, by utilizing this method of shaving you start your shave in the most sensitive area with a cool blade, and end your shave in the least sensitive area. When finished with Zone 4 wipe or wash gently excess hair from face , pat dry. Apply Bump Patrol After Shave. Special Tip: Pour the after shave into palm of one hand. From the same hand smooth it on face without rubbing palms together. The one handed method is most effective way to apply.

For wet Shaving and that means shaving with a razor, should be performed, in the shower or just after getting out. Lather face well with Bump Patrol Shaving Gel. This will hold the water in your skin, surround the hairs and set them up for shaving. Moisture is a key element for a good shave. Oils can clog pores and sometimes become a barrier against moisture. True oil provides some slip, but razor blades tend to last longer, clean easier, and move better in wet environment. The razor is important, we use and recommend multi-blade razors. They are stainless steel, covered in Teflon and move as one blade across the face and neck. Check out the Directional Shave Method on www.bumppatrol.com and you will see the exact strokes needed to get the perfect shave. Greetings

For example, you mentioned pre-shave oil. As a guy who gets serious and often blistering razor bumps, I avoid anything with "oil" in it. Oil of any kind is out for me as it clogs up my pores and makes matters worst for my shaven face. I was a little loose with my wording. But I do use a cotton ball and apply rubbing alcohol to my face and then apply bump patrol (or bump stopper-2) at night. It helps my face and I don't get a serious breakout of razor bumps. Again this works for me. As far as "wet shaving" -- this is the first time I ever heard such a thing. Hopefully, Gear Patrol will investigate and do a how-to on "wet shaving." (the term sounds sexually to me . . . but I digress) Anyway, Mike P, let just say that we agreed to disagreed on our shaving methods to avoid the dreaded razor bumps. P.S.: If anyone ever gets mauled by a raccoon, fuck the rubbing alcohol . . . go see a damn doctor! In response to Mike P:

I totally disagree. You should never need to put rubbing alcohol on your face unless you get mauled by a raccoon and need to kill the germs quick. That will only make things worse by drying out the area. If you really care about getting a good shave that will condition your face and prevent razor bumps and ingrown hairs, wet shave. Go out and purchase a double edge razor, pre-shave oil and a non-aerosol shaving cream. All of these gel and aerosol products are gimmicks and not needed. Gentlemen have been wet shaving for years and its time all men get back to doing it. It's cheaper, provides an effortless smooth shave and makes no impact on the environment nor your skin. All of the products I personally use are all natural. You can learn more from the badgerandblade website, it will change your shaving routine from being a chore to very enjoyable. <a href="http://wiki.badgerandblade.com/index.php/FAQ" target="_blank">http://wiki.badgerandblade.com/index.php/FAQ</a> Some natural shaving products <a href="http://www.thegr.com/" target="_blank">http://www.thegr.com/</a> I really like the GP website and would like to seem more articles on wet shaving and the products and techniques around it.

Razor bumps tend to creep up while we're sleep. (At least for me anyways). Bump Stopper-2 [ <a href="http://www.bumpstopper.com/" target="_blank">http://www.bumpstopper.com/</a> ] is also a good product to use against the dreaded ingrown hairs.
