How to Eliminate Electric Razor Shaving Bumps
Electric shavers are a preferred shaving method for many men. They can last for years, and, in the long run, are often much cheaper than traditional razors. Electric shavers do not cause nicks and cuts, but they may still cause some irritation. Men with sensitive skin are more likely to suffer from razor bumps, especially under the chin and on the neck. A few simple changes can help reduce irritation and make shaving much more comfortable.

1
Clean the razor at least every few days. Use the brush to sweep away hair from the blade. Remove the cover and sweep away the hairs that are inside the shaver head. Lubricate the razor after cleaning to help it glide smoothly over the skin.

2
Examine the blades and covers. Look for any dents that may be rubbing against your skin. Replace any parts that are dented.

3
Shave the most sensitive parts of your face first. The razor is coolest at the beginning of use, which should reduce irritation.
-
4
Shave in the direction of hair growth. This may not give you the closest shave possible, but it will prevent hairs from bending into the skin causing irritation and ingrown hairs.

5
Use a pre-shave lotion that is made for sensitive skin. Follow your shave with an aftershave that helps reduce razor bumps.
