Electric shaver left red spots on my chin?!?!?

Question

I don't put aftershave, would it help?

I shave my chin and it leaves red spots, how do i get rid of them??

Its an 80$ shaver, not a cheap kind either. Im a new to the electric ones, im 17.

Thanks!

Answer 1

Are you shaving WITH the grain? If not, that's the problem, and they're called ingrown hairs. When you shave against the grain it breaks the hair underneath the skin sometimes, and the hairs keep growing and push outward on the skin, thus the red dots. If you shave with the grain, the hairs don't break and you get a nice, clean shave. If you are shaving with the grain, be sure to wet your face well before and use aftershave.

Answer 2

takes your skin a while to adapt to shaving with electric,, just as it would take time to adjust to a blade..  and .. you might be rubbing too hard or taking too long and letting the shaver heat up too much to the point that it is burning you a little.
