    are you using shave cream? if not, do that. if you're using it, try sensitive skin shave cream and make sure you're not using a dull razor...

    i used to get that....

    comes in about a day or 2 after like little red bumps, i think its bc of the sweat
    either way after i shave i slap on some tendskin on the area that usually gets all red and it has pretty much gotton rid of the bumps

    i do it after the next time i shower as well

    I use to get it under my chin. What works for me is Neosporin Pain relief Cream, not the gel. Apply it right after you shave. The cream absorbs through your skin and works for me. Good luck...

    just get some clippers and set them as close as they cut and buzz down to the skin.

    I find razor burn unavoidable, waxing worked well for me, but the pain was unbearable, not to mention it would bruise and cause a rash at times. I just try using sensitive skin shaving gel and not to shave too often. Sharp blades are a must.

    Whenever i shave under my chin and my neck area, i get wicked razor burn, and break out in zits all over. Its pretty lame. The neosporin cream helps, but i have been noticing that if i put cold water on the area before i shave it, that i lessens the burn and zits. Im guessing that the cold water tightens my skin up and that way less can get knicked by my shaver, along with lubricating the area with water.
