Answer 1

You can buy Medic clipper spray. One quick spray kills bacteria such as herpes, rotavirus, hepatitis and more. Use on razors and shaver blades to eradicate bacteria, which can lead to infections.

There are lots of great treatments for ingrown hair and razor rash, like Tend Skin, Priva Shave, Kalo IHT and Ingrow Go.

You may also like the HeadBlade sport head razor, with disposable razor blades for hygiene.
