Bevel Razor

            Bevel is a company dedicated to making facial/salon and beauty products for those of African descent.  I will analyze the effective design of the specialized Bevel razor and razor blade.  People of African descent tend to have much thicker and curlier facial hair than those of European descent.  Using common razors like Gillette sometimes cause razor bumps because the multiple blades cause for a really closer shave.  When the thick curly hair grows back into other pores which creates painful ingrown hairs and forms razor bumps.  This look does not look very professional nor clean, so razor bumps need to be eliminated immediately.

            The Bevel razor contains a single blade designed to cut facial hairs close but not too close.  Most men using the blade will keep a slight “shadow”` in the lower facial area where the beard grows.  The blade is soft against the skin because of its one side with 90 degrees.  I immediately saw the depletion of razor bumps when I switched to this Bevel single blade approach.  It is very sleek and smooth.

            The Bevel razor is also very hefty.  This allows the user to not apply any pressure to the face and still get the razor to cut.  Disposable razors are very lightweight and force the user to apply pressure to cut hairs.  When excessive pressure is applied, one cuts hairs under the skin; this causes ingrown hairs because your skin moves back into place and covers the tip of the curly hair.

            Multi-blade razors tug and pull hairs; this causes inflammation of skin and rashes of razor bumps.  The blades of the razors are place too tightly together and hairs easily become trapped.  When they are trapped, they are voraciously pulled out, causing irritation and swelling.  The single blade approach of the Bevel razor prevents the hairs from getting trapped and prevents irritation.  Irritation is also caused when skin is manually pulled to get a closer shave.  Many men are guilty of this.  This stretching of the skin causes the skin to fold back over the curled hairs.

            The Bevel Shaving System is a great tool for men with curly hair and people with a history of ingrown hairs and razor bumps.  This has been a great razor for me and my relatives alike.  The sleek design even makes those whom have disposable razors jealous!
