give more attention to the pre-shave preparations.

Soak the hairs with hot water for at least 2 minutes, then apply a good shaving cream. The best I've found is Molle, which you can get at
www.getluckytiger.com


try this method:

1- soak hair with hot water, either in the shower, or with a washcloth soaked in hot water, for at least 2 minutes.

2- apply a paperthin layer of molle shaving cream and apply 2 more minutes worth of a hot washcloth.

3= apply a paperthin layer of molle

4- shave in the direction of hair growth only.

5 - wet the skin, then shave across the direction of hair growth.

6 - when you're done, apply either:
rubbing alcohol
aftershave that's mostly alcohol
witch hazel (Dickensen's is a good brand, but if you can find a natural witch hazel that hasn't been distilled, it would be better)
Lucky Tiger aftershave cream (either their disappearing or vanishing cream)

If you opt for the LT aftershave cream, you'll need to apply a paperthin layer, then steam it on with a hot washcloth for 2 minutes, then wipe off.

Another helpful hint would be to disinfect your razor before you use it. Find yourself a hospital grade disinfectant (read the label) that's registered by the EPA, and use it the way the manufacturer recommends. You can find some Barbicide at your local Sally's. Oster makes an aerosol disinfectant; you spray it on, and let it sit for 10 minutes.
Anyway, the reason for doing this is because when you let your blade sit in a damp bathroom, a few bacteria are gonna grow on it, and when you run that sharp blade across your face, you're gonna get nicks and some of those bacteria are gonna get in and make your skin miserable. Disinfect the blade first, and you'll have one less problem to deal with.

Some people have very sensitive skin that reacts to the very thin blade on disposable razors (long story omitted) in which case they need to use either a straight razor, or a Rolls Razor (available for cheap on eBay), or a double edge safety razor available at

That's all I can recommend at the moment; you haven't described your plight in much detail . . .

Try using shaving powder it was developed for such problems and the same company also do a skin conditioning powder in the same range.
