will this razor cause ingrown hairs with someone with curly hair

Not sure about curly hair, but I have not had any ingrown hairs since switching.

I don't have curly hair so I cannot speak from experience. However, the Merkur razor has a comb before you get to the blade which is there to eliminate this problem. If you have very tightly curled hair, you might ask your barber for his opinion.

The razor itself will not cause ingrown hairs as it is the blade and technique that does the actual cutting. The best answer to buying any safety razor is to get a sample pack of blades to find the one that works best for you. Technique is a different matter. I would look at tutorials at either badgerandblade.com or theshaveden.com to guide you in that respect. One you find your stride the ingrown hairs will be a thing of the past.

FWIW ingrown hairs are not caused by curling, but by cutting "too close", that is under the skin. That typically occurs with multiple-blade cartridges, because the first blade grabs and pulls the hair out, while the next ones slice it. The sliced sharp end returns to original position, under the surface of the skin, which then may cause it to grow "through" instead of out of the follicle. One of the points of "returning" to DE razors/blades is to get away from this problem :)

Not at all. In fact, this will help alleviate the problem as compared with those triple blade cartridges. The key for curly beards prone to ingrown hair is regular shaving. However, I am often lazy and go days without shaving and have no problems, whereas I was certain to have multiple ingrown hairs with the Mach 3 and similar cartridges unless I shaved at least every other day.

Not sure why it would unless you are removing a large amount of hair. I haven't had any problem with it.

As in scars? Perhaps after time. But if you mean ingrown hairs and irritation, yes. It's a great product that was recommended to me by my esthetician and must be used regularly, or at least when irritated, for results.

I have fewer ingrown hairs than before use. I should use this everyday and I don't. But it does lightly slough off the skin which has made my ingrown hairs better. If I used this religiously everyday, I believe I would not have I grown hairs. It does help with razor burn which I get easily. I have tried other products, this works best for me.

Yes it should curve. Remember DE shaving requires 3 lathers and 3 shaves for a baby smooth result. Toss the Derbys especially if your beard is thick and coarse.

If you use it, also use a portable trimmer like the Remington MSC-140 Men's Titanium Battery Operated Foil Travel Shaver. It will give you a close cleaner shave in combination. Bump stopper 2 is always something wonderful to use everyday to combat the ingrown hairs. Also a mild facial scrub twice a day - depending on skin type. I use the Andis maybe 3 times a week, and the portable nightly before shower. No razor bumps - no ingrown hair... Hope this helps!

yes, it does! if anything, it might give you a tighter curl, if that's what you'd like. The curls will be springer.

Good Evening, The Merkur is very reliable and one of the smoothest shaves I have had from razors. Pimples will be irritated with any razor you buy, less so with a one blade than with more blades which will likely cause the pimply razor burn mess. I hope that helps.Good Day.

Yes, it works really great for facial razor bumps and ingrown hairs. Used daily, my husband noticed a big difference in just a few days. I use it on my legs and arms for ultra smooth skin.

depends. I would guess yes. I actually use it to clean up all the way to my hairline as well as my shoulders. I take the blade thing out when I do it so it's easier to maneuver. be careful, it can scrape you, but it's still better than all the ingrown hairs and bumps from normal razors.

Yes but it isn['t that effective. It does not work successfully for me anywhere. I wind up using a razor after all. A waste of money.

All epilators can cause ingrown hairs. This one is less likely to do so because of the ceramic tweezer head, which lessens the chance of the hairs breaking off over a metal tweezer head. You can minimize the risk of ingrown hairs by soaking in the bath before hand and drying off thoroughly. Also you should exfoliate before epilating and every day in between the next time you epilate.

I can't say about ingrown hair, but I was very disappointed with the product. Hoped it would be like the black drawing save from years ago, which as I remember worked. This did not.

I would agree, these Panasonic shavers are good for those susceptible to ingrown hairs. I used a Braun for years and had many problems with this, but since going to Panasonic it is very rare. These shavers are gentle on the skin and are waterproof so you can use them with shaving gel if needed.

Have never tried curls, though I would say probably, yes. Does not get hot in the handle area at all. This iron is skinny, but not as short as others that may have more of a heat in handle problem.

Yes, but have not been pleased with this particular product. It does not shave great. It is suppose to tweeze the hairs and it doesn't. I would not recommend this product.

I don't really get ingrown hairs, but I use a loofa constantly in the shower. Otherwise it seems quite rough. I use it mostly on my arms as I have thick light hair. Hope this helps. It's a pretty good machine.
