I guess he's talking about shaving. I use hair clippers so I don't bump up. I also use clippers to cut my hair.

Razors stretch your skin and pull the hair out to get a closer shave. Although you get a close shave or cut, the hair is cut too short and is below you skin. This cause it to curl under the skin and make an infected hair bump. Our hair is naturally curly and will even curl on the surface of the skin so razors are OUT, unless you have straight hair.

Black men suffer from hair bumps when they use razors. Don't use a razor if you don't want your face or head looking like a candy peanut patty.

White men are able to shave with razors because their hair is not as thick and curly like Black men's hair. This is why the shaving standards for corporate America is so hard on Black men. We can't shave like whit men or we wil bump up.

I had to deal with this for so long working in an "Office Enviroment".

I'm not ashame to admitt that it took me a few years to learn how to shave and take care of my facial hair. Welcome to being a Black man in America where shaving standards can cause you self-esteem and health problems.

I use Skin Tight to help with razor bumps. This is the best thing out there. I know because I have tried almost everthing except a face lift. This stuff really works. This is how my face looked >>>>

With your examples Big Mike.  The guy with the bumps on the neck how do people get those.  My older cousin had them for a long time.  Everytime he got a hair cut it seem like they got bigger.  I know it was an infection but from what?

I always stay with the clippers for the face to stay away from the bumps.  I tried the razor once and decided not to ever do that again.  After trimming face hair I wash and put rubbing alcohol.

Dirt and oil, plus a hair curling under the skin. It gets pretty bad if you have sensitive skin like me. Man I thought I would never get rid of the bumps. But now my face and neck area is as smooth as a babies bottom.

Some men have it so bad that they have to take antibiotics to fight the infection. Black men shaving is a serious matter that all young men need to know about. You can't work in a public place looking like the guy in the picture.

 cutting - clippers

lines - imma hafta go with a razor on the front, sideburns, and behind the ears, because razors give a very sharp, clean look. so I'll be the only razor vote.  however, i don't suggest using a razor or extremely sharp clippers on the nape of the neck.

the hair on the neck is more prone to bump by using sharp clippers or razor, but the razor cuts entirely to close to the skin and gives the same results as if shaving the face and front neck thus creating "razor bumps"..

to add to what BigMike said about shaving - the bumps on the face is what is known as :   Pseudofolliculitis barbae, commonly referred to as "razor bumps" "shaving bumps" or "ingrown hairs," is a papular and pustular, foreign body inflammatory reaction that can affect any individual who has curly hair and who shaves. This condition is a particular nuisance to African-Americans.  Caused by a number of things, mainly poor shaving techniques, wrong shaving tools, and using products that are not "black man friendly".

Shaving

That very unhandsome look on the back on the neck is known as: ACNE KELOIDALIS NUCHAE,
Painful, inflammatory papules and pustules with subsequent keloid scarring at the nape of the neck in African-American men. Also caused by a number of things, shaving the head or neck with a razor, irritation from sport helmets that don't fit properly, irritation from collars, people that keloid easily and host of other things.

the key is knowing your own skin and hair and how it reacts to certain things and products, be good to your skin and hair and it'll be good to you.

Shave Face
