Using a dull razor causes unnecessary irritation to skin under all conditions. Instead of gliding across your skin, a dull razor drags, which causes more irritation. Imagine it chipping away at your skin -- no thank you!  You can reuse your razor a few times if you take good care of it. Make sure to wash it after every swipe. Don't leave it wet though, as water can erode at the metal, too. Clean it with rubbing alcohol to kill all the bacteria for extra precaution. You may think lathering up is all you need do, but a badger brush really works in your shaving cream to the hairs, resulting in a cleaner, smoother shave. You may also want to look into a safety razor. It's a single blade that provides a clean cut. The blades are cheap, too! Wait until halfway through your bath or shower to apply the shaving cream. Allow it to sit on your skin for at least 3 minutes to soften the hairs. The aloe and other ingredients in the shaving cream create a surface that yields a smoother shave with less irritation. Gentlemen, you may be better off with your girlfriend's shaving cream. Products marketed toward women's legs are often a bit more hydrating and skin-softening. You can handle a pink can, right? Do this immediately after shaving to reduce the sting and redness caused by your razor. The salve works to soothe the skin and heal any irritation. Refrain from using hydrocortisone cream daily. Regular application causes skin to become used to it, which reduces its effectiveness. Regular use can cause skin to thin. Use a moisturizing, unscented, unperfumed lotion on the shaved area. Lotions reduce the impact of dry skin that results from shaving, which causes many skin irritation symptoms. Bag Balm (available at places like Wal-Greens or CVS) is a great product for all things skin-hydrating. In reality, apply lotion all the time, not just after shaving.

Summary: Get a new razor. Men, purchase a badger brush. Use shaving cream with aloe or other ingredients intended for sensitive skin. Apply hydrocortisone cream or salve after shaving. Put on lotion after shaving.


Boil 7 cups of water then add 1 teaspoon Ajwain, 1 teaspoon cumin seed, 4 teaspoons salt, 4-5 teaspoons green chili, 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, and 3 teaspoons papad kharo or baking soda. Stir everything together and turn down the heat. Add 4 cups of rice flour to the mixture of water and spices. Turn the heat back up and bring it back to a boil. Mix the flour with a wooden spoon then turn the heat off. Continue to mix the rice flour until it is a dough consistency. Take a chunk of dough and press it into a flat ball. Press two indents in it with your finger. Do this with all of the dough. Set around three chunks of dough on the plate at a time. Put the plate over a pot of water. Put a lid on top of the plate and bring the water to a boil. Cook for about 10-15 minutes. When the dough is finished cooking, put the dough chunks in a bowl. Cut the cooked dough into smaller pieces then mash it with the bottom of a glass.  Mash the dough quickly before it gets cold. Make sure there are no lumps in the dough and that it is smooth. Roll the dough balls into spheres then flatten them. The easiest way to flatten them is with a peri press. If you don’t have a peri press, you can use a rolling pin or a flat and heavy object. Cover the dough with a piece of saran wrap before you flatten it to avoid the dough getting stuck.

Summary: Boil water and spices. Add rice flour to the water and spice mixture. Separate the dough into pieces. Cook the dough over boiling water. Cut and mash the dough. Flatten the dough into papads.
