Welcome to my shaving blog...
Welcome to my blog, "I understand shaving and I understand skin." My name is Josh Zeichner, and I am the
Director of Cosmetic and Clinical Research in the Dermatology Department at
Mount Sinai Medical Center in
New York City. Like most guys, I have had my fair share of problems shaving. I don’t know anyone who has received a formal education on how to shave or the tools to use. As I look at my own technique, it developed half from watching my father and half from my own trial and error. With curly hair and a curly beard, I suffered for years from cuts, ingrown hairs, pimples, and razor burn. It never even occurred to me to ask any of my friends about their shaving habits, let alone to ask my doctor. It was my specialty training in Dermatology that gave me a true understanding of the skin and hair. I now appreciate which shaving techniques work best and the scientific reasons why. Also, I appreciate the differences that exist between different types of razors.
I understand the trials and tribulations guys go through in shaving. As a board-certified Dermatologist, I am here to share my expertise and provide guidance on how to shave. Each week, I will provide helpful tips on your skin and how to shave it. As part of a full disclosure to my readers, I am partnering with Gillette as an official “Spokesblogger” for the company. That being said, I want to assure you that my posts will not be promotional. My goal is to provide meaningful information to you about shaving and skin care. I hope you can use my posts to help improve your shaving techniques, skin health, and overall quality of life.
