About RazorBumps.org
We're on a mission to help people achieve smooth, bump-free skin through evidence-based solutions that actually work.
Our Story
RazorBumps.org was created out of frustration with the lack of comprehensive, honest information about pseudofolliculitis barbae (razor bumps). Too many people suffer in silence, trying product after product with little improvement.
We noticed that most content about razor bumps fell into two categories: overly simplified listicles that skip the science, or dense medical papers that are hard to understand. There was nothing in between—nothing that combined rigorous research with practical, actionable advice.
That's why we built this site. We wanted a single place where someone dealing with razor bumps could find:
- Evidence-based solutions backed by dermatology research
- Honest product recommendations (not affiliate-driven garbage)
- Personalized protocols for different skin types and body areas
- Realistic timelines and expectations
- Coverage of options from budget drugstore products to medical treatments
Research-Backed
Every recommendation is supported by peer-reviewed dermatology research and clinical studies.
Inclusive
Solutions for all skin tones, hair types, and body areas. No one-size-fits-all advice.
Honest
We test products ourselves and provide realistic expectations. No miracle cures or false promises.
How We Create Content
Research
We start with peer-reviewed dermatology journals, clinical trials, and medical guidelines from organizations like the American Academy of Dermatology.
Real-World Testing
We test products and techniques ourselves across different skin types and body areas. We note what works, what doesn't, and any side effects.
Expert Review
Our content is reviewed by board-certified dermatologists to ensure medical accuracy and safety across all skin tones.
Continuous Updates
We regularly update our articles as new research emerges and new products are released. Medical knowledge evolves, and so does our content.
What Makes Us Different
We Address the Disparity
Razor bumps disproportionately affect people with tightly coiled hair—predominantly Black men and women. Yet most grooming advice is written for people with straight, fine hair. We specifically address the unique challenges faced by people with coarse, curly, or tightly coiled hair, including proper techniques, suitable products, and realistic alternatives like hair clippers or laser hair removal.
No Affiliate Bias
While we may include affiliate links for products we genuinely recommend, our reviews are never influenced by commissions. We recommend drugstore products when they work, and we'll tell you when expensive products aren't worth it. Our loyalty is to you, not to brands.
Realistic Expectations
We won't promise overnight results or miracle cures. Most protocols take 2-4 weeks to show significant improvement. Some cases require medical treatment. We tell you the truth about timelines, costs, and realistic outcomes so you can make informed decisions.
Full Spectrum of Solutions
We cover everything from the $5 drugstore glycolic acid toner to $300+ laser hair removal sessions. We explain what each option does, who it's best for, and what results to expect. Budget shouldn't prevent you from getting good information.
Our Core Values
Accuracy Over Clicks
We'd rather have fewer readers who get real help than thousands who follow bad advice. Every claim is backed by evidence.
Inclusivity
Skin care and hair removal advice must work for all skin tones and hair types. We explicitly address differences and provide tailored solutions.
Transparency
We cite our sources, disclose our testing methods, and are upfront about limitations. If something isn't proven, we say so.
Empowerment
We explain the "why" behind recommendations so you can make informed decisions. You're not just following steps—you're understanding the solution.
