Brilio.net - For many men, a razor is an important tool used to shave a mustache and beard. However, over time, the razor can become blunt. Storage in a bathroom that is often exposed to water can also cause rust on the razor. This rust makes the blade less sharp for shaving.
When the blade is dull, many people choose to throw it away and replace it with a new one. In fact, with a certain trick, a dull razor can be sharpened back to being sharp. This trick was once shared by YouTube user HandyHadi.

How to treat razor burn.
If your skin is injured by a razor, there are several steps you can take to treat the wound and speed up the healing process:
1. Clean gently.
Rinse the wound with cool or warm water to remove dirt and bacteria. Avoid using harsh soaps or cleansers that can cause further irritation.
2. Apply pressure to the bleeding.
If the wound is still bleeding, use a clean cloth or sterile cotton to gently apply pressure to the bleeding area. Apply pressure for several minutes until the bleeding stops.
3. Apply antibiotic ointment.
After cleaning the wound, apply a thin layer of antibiotic ointment to prevent infection and promote healing. Be sure to read the instructions for use on the packaging.
4. Use a bandage or plaster.
Cover the wound with a sterile bandage or plaster to protect it from dirt and bacteria. Change the bandage or plaster regularly, at least once a day or as needed.
5. Avoid rubbing or scratching the wound.
Avoid rubbing or scratching the wound, as this can cause irritation and slow the healing process. Keep the wound dry and clean.
6. Avoid irritating products.
Avoid using skin care products that contain alcohol or other harsh chemicals that can irritate the wound.
7. Monitor wound development.
Monitor the wound regularly. If you see signs of infection such as redness, swelling, or colored discharge, consult a doctor immediately.
