oh and some of the wax products have a soothing lotion to help prevent that burning  

Answer 4

teflon blades will prevent this

Answer 5

I have really sensitive skin, and I used to have that problem a lot. Something that really works to prevent razor burn is to make sure the area stays moistened. Buy a high quality moisturizing lotion, preferably one that contains aloe, and put it on the area you want to shave every morning and night. This will keep the skin strong and keep the hair soft so that it's easier to shave. Also, it helps to always use a sharp razor. Don't use the same blade for too long.
