Cure My Razor Burn

Martin, Helsingborg, Sweden asks
Question: I started to hate shaving because I always get that razor burn when I shave. Could you suggest a way to cure it?

Answer:

Hardly anyone knows permanent solution, but there are few things you can do to prevent or at least diminish razor burn.

Make sure that you always use very sharp razor so that you don’t inflame your skin. Shave lightly and don’t pass many times over the same area. Shave in direction of growth, never against. It’s essential for avoiding razor burn that you soften your skin as much as possible before shaving. Hot water and skin-softening products will help. You’ll help reduce razor burn if you apply moisturizer before applying shaving foam. After you finished shaving always rinse with cold water.

Of course, other option to avoid razor burn is to grow a beard. They’re making a big comeback. Catch the newest trend and solve your problem at the same time.
