How do you address shaving, razor bumps, and your employer?

I don’t get the last part, you just mean like razor bumps and work? I think the best advice I have (I am a Black man) is to learn how to use a safety razor and make sure to use a quality alcohol-based aftershave to prevent infections and in-grown hairs. Most Black men I know with really bad razor bumps continue to use multiple blade cheap razors which in general aren’t great for curly/coarse hair.

I use bump patrol. But like some of the other folks have stated below, the safest is probably a pair of clippers/electric razors. But there are some good tutorials on YouTube. Id take care of any razor bumps first. Then I’d start with a very gentle double edge safety razor (I think I started with a basic Merkur - YouTube/reviews will let you know which ones those are) and take it really slow. Once you get good at it it’s quick and gets you a closer shave than an electric razor.

Electric on my face and razor on my neck. With the razor, do NOT to against the grain. Exfoliate morning and night.

Get to know ur facial hair. It doesn’t always go the same direction. My neck hair goes up (on the lower half), goes down on my cheeks, sideways and down on my chin, and sideways right under my chin. It’s thick too so u just gotta spent time looking at ur hair

Always shave with the hair first. Can go against once it’s extremely short. All irritation stopped after I changed my approach. I use multi razor but others swear by single blade.

I am middle eastern, not black FYI.

I’ve recently been diagnosed with ADHD. It’s all very new to me still and my doctor keeps pushing me to go on meds. Does anyone else here struggle with ADHD? How are you able to manage it in the workplace? Did you end up going on meds for it and that helps? Or did you take a non-medicated route? I really don’t want to take drugs if I don’t have to so hearing your personal experiences would be really helpful! Thanks in advance.

How's everyone doing? I was on social media today and reading about the Adam Toledo video and it took me back to last June, which on top of the pain from seeing this racist system continue to win out, June was my lowest billing month and hurt my confidence about hitting hours compared to my white peers.

How are other people dealing with 1) trauma of another racist murder by cops and 2) impact on work? I am not black, so my pain does not compare but I can't act like things are fine either...
