Shaving woes

I can't ever seem to shave without getting razor burn under my chin. I have found that if I use the "art of shaving line" it won't do it as bad. So in order to keep things from getting bad I have to shave every other day or every third day. The art of shaving kit has a preshave oil, cream and I use a badger brush with it, and the after shave lotion. I can't use the cheap razors for the obvious reasons I have to use the g mach 3's I found the fusions were a waste. any ideas on how to prevent the bumps? i figure my old school approach to shaving will score well with the older crowd. not to many people know about the oil and use a brush anymore.

I'm the same way! What I find helps is to use after shave... If that doesn't help, you need to exfoliate the skin, and you can do that with "toner" - apply some on a cotton ball and wipe away... No im not gay, lol.

Why not laser it off? Hair grows in basically four cycles, get it lasered a couple of times and you don't ever have to shave again.

It contains alcohol, you can find it at the beauty section in many stores... A good one is made by "clinque" ... It's the only thing that has helped me...

Shave 'with' the grain...(in a manner of speaking).......Shave DOWN your face...and chin...and neck.....Instead of 'against' the grain.

Also...Shaving is MUCH easier if you do it after you've been 'steamed' in a nice, hot shower before shaving.....It's much better than just washing your face with warm, soapy water......Really relaxes the pores and the follicles......I almost always shave after my shower.

Another tip, once finished, rinse your face with COLD water. That will close the pores.
