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.
