I only shave once a week, thereby cutting down on the times my face is itchy and irritated. h:

I've got some moisturizing aftershave lotion that I use...really helps me, especially with razor burn.

im not a hairy guy but if i hold out on shaving for a while it can be irritating < spell check me please) any way usaully i will use my hair clippers first to trim down the hair then use a razer to shave it off...

my guess is the kind of razer you are using...always wipe down with rubbing alchole too that helps...

Make sure you are using a sensitive gel or foam and let it sit on your face for a few minutes. It allows the gel/foam to lift your hairs and moisturize your skin before it gets worked on by your razor.

do not use cold water to help lather your face. the best time to shave is right out the shower when your skin is nice and relaxed from the heat/warmth

if your skins cooled down, use really warm water to heat up your face for a good 30 secs, or use a small tower soaked in hot water and put if up to your face for just as long

use a good shaving gel/cream w/ a COLD razor, not one thats been heated w/ hot water. after your done shaving, use cold water to rinse off and put on some lotion that has 0% alcohol

problem solved. thank me later h:
