Razors

Here’s a little useful tip: try using a double-edged safety razor (pictured right) instead of a multiple-blade refillable (pictured left) when shaving around the embouchure area. With the old-fashioned safety razor, you’ll get much fewer annoying ingrown hairs, because it cuts hairs off right at the skin level. The newer multiple-blade razors lift and cut the hairs below skin level, which, along with your mouthpiece, can encourage hairs to become ingrown.
