Thread: Ingrown hair problem

I'm just a newb myself to straights (and the forum, 2nd post), but what i find works for disposables has worked for me for the few times ive used a straight as well.

I don't know where I read this online, but somewhere I was told that if after shaving you take a soft to medium stiffness tootbrush (depending on the sensitivity of your skin) and rub (not too hard) in small overlapping circles (a la Karate Kid) on your just shaven areas, it will help to bring out the ends of the hairs. I don't know about the universal validity of this, but before i started doing it i had a lot of ingrown hairs on my neck below the jawline and now i have noticeably fewer.
