Letter: An unexpected benefit of shaving?

Published 5 November 2025

From Jack Barber,<br/>Stafford, UK

Carissa Wong mentions face rolling and facial massage as alleged ways of boosting our lymphatic system. I use an electric razor to shave each day, which seems to replicate her description of what one might do with a jade rolling pin(25 October, p 28). Because I am quite vigorous with my use of my electric razor, does that mean I am massaging my facial lymphatic system already, benefiting from my mode of shaving in a way I never anticipated?
