How to get rid of those little red bumps on your neck that are caused by shaving.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Razor
  • Towel
  • Water
  • Hair Conditioner
  1. Step 1

    Wet your face with warm water. The best time to shave is after or in the shower. This will make sure the pores and hair follicles are open.

  2. Step 2

    Apply a generous portion of Hair Conditioner to your face and neck. This will prevent your face and neck to dry out causing razor burn.

  3. Step 3

    shave regularly going with the grain.

  4. Step 4

    use cool water to rinse off your face

Tips & Warnings
  • make sure your face is wet with warm water
  • do not shave against the grain. I know its a closer shave but if your razor is not sharp enough you'll butcher yourself.

on 12/30/2007 hello. i have used the hair conditioner trick on my legs for years as well as on my make clientele who come to me for facial treatments. however, against the grain gives a woman-loving shave and razor bumps can be avoided if (as you say) a new blade is used, the skin is not pulled too tight, the skin is allowed to breath afterward (no tight collared shirts and ties) and the after shave has a wee bit of moisturizer and a wee bit of benzoyl peroxide .5% added to it. which brings me to my own opinion as a woman and as a woman who knows men's skin: the best time to shave is in the shower, at night before bedtime. thanks for the article!
