Answer 1

Wow! Razor burns ar the pits, use a lot of moisturizer and it'll go away soon.

You either did not use enough soap or not enough shaving cream.  I like to use Pure Silk Moisturizing Saving Cream for Women, it is made by Barbasol and I like the Raspberry Mist.  But a lot of times I by the Barbasol for men!  I like the sensitive skin kind-It is made by the same company and is better for you because they put more moisturizers in it for the mens face. It is also 3 times cheaper then women's shaving cream and you get twice as much.

You really can not hurry up the razor burn away- you should not shave until it is gone, use a lot of moisturizer or get some pure aloe vera lotion and rub on, this is great for burns, including razor burns.

Answer 2

Exfoliate the skin (brush it with a sponge or loofa) before shaving. This will bring the hairs up and make it easier to shave them. Use a specialised shaving product, not just shower gel or something- if you can buy a moisturising one, or one for sensitive skin all the better! After you shave, exfoliate again, such as rubbing roughly with a towel as you dry. Use a moisturising lotion, or after shave lotion on your legs when they are dry.

Don't shave your legs in really hot water or just after a really hot shower. Warm is fine (even good), but too hot can cause the skin to get puffy and increase irritation.

Maybe try a hair removing cream designed for sensitive skin, if it is still getting to you.

Good luck.

Answer 3

Well I am not sure if it will go away any faster, but use lotion, or hydrocoritsone cream to help with your uncomfortableness.

you can shave with razor burn, it will probably just be uncomfortable

I suggest you change the blade of you razor because dull razors can cause razor burn
