Use Quality Safety Razors

This is usually the first line of defense against having boils. With the sharpness of a safety razor like the Vikings Blade, hair won't be pulled or tugged on. This causes issues with the hair follicle which brings about infection by Bacteria to cause a boil.

Replace Your Blades

Since boils are caused by bacteria build up in the pores, you have to prevent the likelihood of this occurring. Besides contact of hand with face (hands should be washed properly), blades could also help encourage the growth of these bacteria. Use blades once and dispose of them until you have stopped having boils.

Soak in Alcohol

Don't Share Razor
