When shaving, first I use an electric shaver. Before I finish up with a straight razor, I use some moisturizer on my face. It eliminates razor burns and cuts. It really works quite well.
That's a very interesting method, but I think that if you use a high quality electric razor, there's no need to finish with a manual razor, I find that the skin is in a sensitive state and this could lead to rashes or bumps.

It's shave and swimsuit season! Do you have problems with festered or ingrown hairs after shaving? Here is a way to reduce or eliminate the problem. Simply shave with the direction of hair first, then against the direction of hair after that. I can't tell you why it works, but I know that I use to have a terrible problem with ingrown hairs, especially on the back of my thighs. Since using this technique, I am rarely bothered!

It's true; I've done this and for some reason it works. I'm not sure why, but it does. (05/24/2007)
