How to Avoid Razor Burn
- 1). Put a new, sharp blade in your razor. Shaving with a dull blade will inflame your skin.
- 2). Shave carefully, applying only as much pressure as necessary.
- 3). If you're shaving off a beard or several days' growth, change blades as needed.
- 4). Rinse off the shaving cream with cold water.
- 5). Apply aftershave or another alcohol-based product.
- 6). Dry your face well.
- 7). Use lotion on any dry patches.
