astringent works for me. it gets rid of my razor bumps when i get them. that website isn't by any means an authority on shaving. everyone is different. you just have to keep trying stuff untill you find something that works and then stick with it.

I shave before I take a shower and I haven't had any problems. Except when I shave against the grain. Thats a big no-no. Always shave with the grain. My hair grows weird. Up under my ears the hair grows towards my mouth. I shave using warm water, never tried wetting my face then shaving then using cold water. Perhaps I'll try that.

I have never had that problem. I shave with warm and then rinse with warm and then rinse again with cold to close my pores.

I used to have a roomate who would have a 5'oclock shadow at like noon. He was a hairy guy. He shaved in the shower, saying it was the only way to prevent those ingrown hairs for him. Maybe give that a shot. :dunno:

Lubricating ur face well using a good gel & shaving less often should help.
