Which electric shaver is best for African-American men to use?
[2008-03-13 12:45:44]

Q: I'm tired of using razors, and I don't feel like going to the barber to get a shave. I need a shaver that will help eliminate razor burn and bumps, while getting all the hair off my face. Any suggestions on what brand and model I can buy?

A: I use a panasonic, I forget what model number it is but it works great for me because it does not cut the hair below the skin. If I use a shaver or razor that gives a very close shave then I will get razor bumps. You have to check if a razor will cut

What is the best electric shaver I can purchase to shave my (african american male) head?
[2007-03-01 09:13:21]

I am tired of using the the Mach III and other razors to shave my head and would like to know if there is something comparable on the electric side. Thanks


get a 4 blade.

I've used a lot on sensitive skin with a thick beard. The best i've used, the blades seem slightly further apart from each other less clogging less kinking of the honed edge.

I get rasor burn from most electrics,

Guide To The Perfect Shave For The African-American Man | ZoKnows

That’s right my brothers, the perfect shave is something that we all seek but few of us ever achieve. It used to be that the smoothest your face would ever be was right after you hopped out of the barber chair, but I say no more. In this economy we all have to look for ways to make our money stretch and being able to smooth out your face and neck can definitely make those haircuts go a little bit further. I am here to tell you that I’ve tried it all and it was only a few years ago that I found the secret to the perfect shave for men of color.

The first thing that African-American men need to understand if they don’t know already is that our hair doesn’t grow like other ethnicities. Our hair is naturally curly and because of this it tends to grow back into our skin creating the dreaded and often times painful razor bumps. Traditional shaving methods don’t work for most of us, so the commercials that you see on TV with the razor and the whole nine are more fantasy than reality. The one time I tried to shave with a razor after I finished my face was baby smooth, I was like I finally got it. Two days later I looked like I had gotten stung by bees all over my face and that isn’t cool. Most of us just concede ourselves to the fact that when we need to get smooth, it’s going to take a trip to the barber and some dough out of our pocket. Well I am here to tell you that it doesn’t have to be that way. The method I am about to hip you to has worked for me for almost 10 years and never fails. I won’t say it’s the only way, but it’s simple and effective.

South Africa re-opens rare earth mines

VANRHYNSDORP, South Africa — The detritus of South Africa’s mining past rises like a ghost town from the arid expanses of the Namaqualand region: the apartheid-era hostels for black workers, and a distance away, the houses for white managers. Razor wire and warning signs block the mine shaft entrance, and rusty old equipment is heaped nearby.

But a half-century after the Steenkampskraal mine was abandoned, it is returning to life.

The old buildings are being torn down, and buried beneath impermeable clay because of their radioactivity. The mine shaft is being restored, and the entire site brought up to environmental code.

Steenkampskraal, abandoned in 1963 when demand for thorium went bust, is being refurbished because of the modern need for rare earth minerals — the minute particles used in smartphones, high-tech weaponry, electric cars and a host of other electronics.
