Answer 2

i get razor burns too, but i use after shave, it kills the itch and the burn.

Answer 3

Ingrown hair is usually caused by a coarse curly hair growing into the curved hair follicle. It can be treated by applying a poultice of clay. Other home remedies and information about ingrown hair is available at http://www.hairremoval.in/ingrownhair.ht...

Answer 4

maybe its because you shave too often. maybe you should wait a while before you shave each time.  

Answer 5

Well I'm a girl but I always imagined that shaving my pubes was the same as a guy shaving his face haha.

I use pure aloe vera gel (as after shave), the first aid kind, you will feel it work as soon as you put it on! It's great!

Maybe you need to spend more money on razor blades and buy new ones more often. The sharper the blade, the cleaner the shave.

Make sure to put lots of shaving cream, maybe leave it on your face for about a minute before beginning, so your pores will open

Also, let the hot water run in your sink and hover your face over the steam. The hot steam will open those pores right up! Do this for maybe 1 minute with really hot water.. be careful.

By the way in case you didn't know, opening pores allows the hair follicle to not be pulled, relieving you of those nasty bumps.

Answer 6

i used to have that problem when i was younger. do you shave from the bottom of the neck up to the chin? thats what i do now, and if there are any smaller hairs left over i just go over them going down very lightly. the neck can be a weird spot on many men where the hair grows in all different directions. i use the gillette 5 blade razor with the 4 blades on the face and one on the back. i also have the gillette sensitive skin shaving cream and after shave gel. you might just need to try shaving different directions and figuring out what it will react to best.

fyi i also shave about every 3 days

Answer 7

Try a sensitive skin After Shave Lotion.

Answer 8

You may want to try using a different razor, or try shaving more frequently.
