1
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 1: You're listening to a Velvet Edge mini. So this is

2
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:10,240
Speaker 1: Kelly and I'm here with my friend Grace that you

3
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:13,240
Speaker 1: guys met in the very first Oh my Gosh, you're

4
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:16,800
Speaker 1: like the o G of the Velvet Edge podcast. Hello.

5
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:21,640
Speaker 1: So I brought Grayson because this week I posted on

6
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:24,479
Speaker 1: my Instagram at Velvet's Edge about the fact that I

7
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 1: shaved my face, and I cut a lot of questions

8
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 1: about this and why I do it, and the fact

9
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:33,839
Speaker 1: that women shave their face in general is just a

10
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 1: little weird to some people. So I brought Grayson because

11
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:39,199
Speaker 1: I actually got her to start shaving her face a

12
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 1: couple of years ago, and I wanted a little backup

13
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 1: support here. Um but I did want to go through

14
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: just a couple of the questions that I've got and

15
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: kind of explained to you guys why I do this

16
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 1: and what the benefits are, because it's something that I

17
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: really love and it's a huge part of my beauty

18
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 1: routine that I do once a week. Um. So, the

19
00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 1: reason I shaved my face is mostly for anti a jing.

20
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: I think one of the biggest things that I was

21
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 1: taught a couple of years ago by an esthetician in

22
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 1: Nashville named Carrie Hayes was that if we shave our face,

23
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:14,320
Speaker 1: we are turning over skin cells constantly, So you're rebuilding

24
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: your skin cells and boosting collagen. So why wouldn't we

25
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 1: want to do that? First of all? Um, But if

26
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 1: you think about it, like Carrie always explains it too,

27
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 1: that guys don't have vertical lines on their face, And

28
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 1: if you think about the fact that they age a

29
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 1: lot slower than women, a huge part of that might

30
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 1: be shaving their face. Have you found that, like when

31
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,199
Speaker 1: you shaved you do you feel like it's like helping

32
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: with anti aging at all? I think so. I mean,

33
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:43,960
Speaker 1: I don't really know because I've been doing it a lot, right,

34
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 1: but because I don't know what I would look like

35
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: if I wasn't shaving, very valid point. But I love it.

36
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: What do you what's your favorite part of why you

37
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 1: do it? So obviously anything anytime anyone says anti aging,

38
00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:00,040
Speaker 1: I'm pretty much is done. I'll try it. But I

39
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: personally like the way my skin looks. It looks cleaner it,

40
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:08,079
Speaker 1: my makeup goes on better, my serums going better. You know,

41
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 1: whatever I'm putting in my face, I feel like it

42
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: absorbs it more because there's not the hair there to

43
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: get in the way. I feel like my makeup my

44
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 1: actual skin, Like whenever I if I shaved that day

45
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: and I put my makeup, and I feel like I

46
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: look like I'm glowing literally, um, because it's like kind

47
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 1: of makes sure have you shine. There's not the hair

48
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 1: they're to kind of dull your skin, right, so you

49
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 1: can make up to sinks in right, it's really really pretty.

50
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: Um So one of the questions, I think one of

51
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 1: the main questions I got was if you shave, will

52
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 1: your hair grow back thicker and black or like more coarse.

53
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 1: I think people are really worried about that. And what

54
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 1: Carrie says is your hair is going to grow back

55
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: exactly as it was before. So if you just had

56
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 1: you know, blonde peach fuzz, which was what you had

57
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 1: right grace, um they she said, it'll just grow back

58
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 1: exactly the same. Like your hair follicle is always going

59
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,639
Speaker 1: to be the same. You're not changing that by shaving, right,

60
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: because I don't know the different types of hair, but

61
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: whatever the type of hair is on your face, it

62
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 1: doesn't grow back any different. Like if you did have black,

63
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: coarse hair, it would grow back back exactly right, So

64
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: you're not going to create that by shaving your face.

65
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,639
Speaker 1: It's just gonna grow back exactly the same. Someone else asked, like,

66
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: where do you shave? Is it just like your mustache area?

67
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: Is it around your brows? I actually shape my entire

68
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,799
Speaker 1: face and neck same same, So you do just what

69
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 1: to the base of the and like your crow's feet.

70
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 1: I spend a lot of attention on my forehead too,

71
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: because well because I feel like, no, I have read

72
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 1: the least hare there, but I feel like if it

73
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: is going to boost collagen, that's where I feel like

74
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: I have the most lines my forehead right now at least,

75
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: so that's where I kind of focus. I have a

76
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: line there that's I don't I like really focusing on

77
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: my smile lines that I feel like that's and also

78
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 1: that's obviously where you do have a little bit of hair,

79
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: like in the mustache area. This is the sexiest podcast

80
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: really helping my dating life right now. Um okay, So

81
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: then the final question would probably be what do you use?

82
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 1: And we use different methods, so we can talk through

83
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 1: that a little bit. But I use a Gillette fusion razor,

84
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: which is literally from Walgreen's it's so cheap. Um, A

85
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: shave about once a week, and I take a creamy

86
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,479
Speaker 1: cleanser like a Setophil or something like that. Is that

87
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: how you say that setophil? Yeah, one of other way. Um,

88
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 1: and you just kind of lathered up all over your

89
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: face and then I just like I said, shave. There

90
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 1: is a video on velvet See dot com if you

91
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 1: guys want to check out a video Carrie doing it,

92
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: so you can see kind of her method. If it

93
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: gets a little intimidating, but it's if you just put

94
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 1: it in the search bar face shaving, it will come

95
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 1: up under one of those blogs. But what do you

96
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:07,119
Speaker 1: use and how many times do you use your razor?

97
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: I will go once to once to three times, like

98
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: when then change out the blade. So I use just

99
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: like those cheap disposable like they're not necessarily big brand,

100
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: but you know, I'm on the two blade and I'll

101
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 1: use them one time and then trash them. So I

102
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: do that because I was told, like the bacteria, you're

103
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 1: not carry any bacteria and every time you shave it,

104
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 1: so I'll just use it one time and they'm away.

105
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,840
Speaker 1: That's actually a good point to I do you know

106
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: that if you are prone to acne, you may want

107
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 1: to ask your dermatologist before you start doing this, because

108
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's because of the blade or

109
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: anything just sensitive skin. You might want to check with

110
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: the dermatologists. It should still be fine, but they may

111
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:51,840
Speaker 1: have a different method for you. You You said you heard

112
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:55,159
Speaker 1: some people do it dry. Yes, that's what's changeful, right,

113
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 1: But I don't think it is. But you can just

114
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 1: dry shape. I would be too scared to do that,

115
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 1: and I would worry about irritation or something like that,

116
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,359
Speaker 1: so I do the same. I've put a cleanser on

117
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,799
Speaker 1: and kind of use that as shaving cream. Almost. Yeah,

118
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: you know those little um those eyebrow like I don't

119
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: even call the table tickle. I think that's when they're

120
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 1: like the little eyebrow brush. We'll call them the tickler. Okay,

121
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: but if you use those, I do use those around

122
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: my brow sometimes because it's easy. I have. Actually, this

123
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: is a foe warning of or a warning, not a

124
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: fore warning. Be careful when you're shaving around if you

125
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 1: shave your entire face when you're shaving around your brows.

126
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: I was going really fast one time and I took

127
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 1: off the end of a brow, which was unfortunate, right, So, um,

128
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 1: is there anything else, like any other warnings you would

129
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: give people? It sounds so scary, and I remember being

130
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 1: freaked out the first time I did it too. And

131
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: then once you start right the way you your skin

132
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,160
Speaker 1: feels right after you do it for the first time,

133
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: it's so like a baby's but it's amazing. Literally, it's

134
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 1: once you pop, you just can't stop. Agree. It's so

135
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 1: it's so addicting, and there's really nine down side. If

136
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: you do it and you don't like it, just let

137
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: the peaches grow back out, because it's going to be

138
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: exactly the same. Like we talked about. You can do

139
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: it more than once a week too. I do it

140
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: as needed, so if I felt like I was growing

141
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 1: back some here I didn't like, or I just really

142
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 1: wanted to really fresh look, like if I have a

143
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: photo shoot or some sort of thing where I want

144
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 1: to be on camera, sometimes I'll do it like twice

145
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: a week. Um. And actually you would probably see more

146
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 1: benefits from the aging because you're turning over your skin

147
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: cells again. And it's not it doesn't take a long time.

148
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 1: I mean, you do the whole your whole face and

149
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: I can probably do it under two minutes at this point. Yeah.

150
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 1: So it's a very fast thing, a big commitment to

151
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 1: add to your regiment. Right. As always, you guys can

152

Speaker 1: email me at info at velvet side dot com if
