When you are finished shaving, rinse your skin thoroughly, dry with a towel, than pat the shaving lotion on. As much as you like. Works for me!

First use a really good shaving cream.  I loooove Coochy from pure romance.  You can use it everywhere...even as a hair conditioner!  And for bikini line bumps use this stuff from lots of stores called Bikini Zone\n\nOoops is this a man asking???? Well you may not want to use that then!  Although it says men can use it for the really coarse hair on the face

The alcohol is normal. It's typical for most facial products to include a little bit of alcohol to cleanse the skin. Almost all toners or aftershaves have it, as well as most acne medications.

You need to soak your face in warm water first to make the hair softer. Then use a good lubricating shave cream. Shave WITH the hair direction, not against.\nThen you need to make sure you moisturise after. You can get nice manly smelling moisturisers nowdays.\nOh and only use twin blade.

Always exfoliate after you shave to remove excess skin cells that can clog pores, also rubbing alcohol will kill bacteria that can cause hairs to get infected. \n\nThese things will help so you don't get shave bumps, after you have shave bumps, there's no quick way to get rid of them, you can try, Visine(eye drops) which may help to reduce redness and swelling.

warm shower helps soften the hair. shave in the direction  the facial hair is growing to avoid irritation (on the neck shaving down is better for less irritation. If your face can handle it; for the closest shave, shave down and up on each area. This may lead to irritation and shaving bumps though

Try an after shave balm it is alcohol free and won't dry out an already inflamed area of skin.\n\nIncidentally to help reduce getting razor burn...\n1. Buy a good exfoliant and use that before you shave: it stops the razor clogging up with dead skin cells and helps the blades glide over your skin rather than rip through it.\nIt also helps the blade remain sharp for longer.\n\n2. Don't overuse the razor blades, I only expect to get about 5-6 shaves per blade (I use disposables better quality blades do last longer).\n\n3. ALWAYS rub a skin conditioner onto the skin after shaving to help repair damaged skin, even if you want to use after shave afterwards.

ProActiv encourages you to use the face wash that has granules in it for no longer than about 1 minute. One minute of face-washing is not "over scrubbing." The granules are simply mechanisms that get inside your pores to clean from the inside out. Despite how they feel, the granules are a world away from washing with sandpaper. It takes more than soap and water to get out those pore-cloggers that refuse to budge -- you need those tiny granules. Trust me on this one.

Shave with a razor and shaving cream, shave in one direction to limit the irritation. After you get done clean off with water, and let it air dry. Drying it with a towel will only irritate your skin. After it dries use rubbing alcohol a couple of times a day until the irritation goes down.\n\nYes the hair will grow back, it starts growing back within about 5 days or so.\n\nAnd yes it will itch butthe Alcohol helps, and if you continue to shave that will go away as well.

Use aftershave every time you shave. Endure the burning and you won't have trouble later.

First dust your face with talc before shaving, after shaving rinse with very cold water then apply a thin even layer of Quiniderm cream to your face and neck. If you get neck rash too dust your kneck with talk before going to bed at night. I find it best to shave at night as it gives my face time to heal before i put on a collar/shirt in the morning. Wet shaving would solve your problem try shaving using hair conditioner instead of shaving foam.

They do make exfoliating products just for men.  Here is a good guideline to follow for male skin.\n\nUse a three-step facial care plan . Properly cleanse your face with warm water and a glycerin based soap. This will open your pores and prepare the skin for exfoliating. Next, remove dead surface cells with a gentle scrub. Finally, hydrate your face with a quality moisturizer.

make sure you're rinsing out the soap after you wash your face.  It is harder to rinse out of hair than just skin, so make sure it has been thouroughly rinsed out.  soap just sitting on your face all day can cause that.

There's an excellent explanation at the website below. I've included a bit here, but be sure to check the website for more details:\n\n"People can help prevent razor bumps and barber's rash by:\n\n    * using warm water to soften the skin and hairs before shaving; shaving right after a shower.\n    * applying shaving cream, foam, or soap in the opposite direction of hair growth (usually upward), moisturizing your skin as well as hair.\n    * shaving the easier areas first: the jawline, cheeks, and neck.\n    * shaving in the direction of hair growth (usually downward).\n    * not stretching your skin taut.\n    * rinsing your razor thoroughly after each use and replacing your blades every week or more often if necessary."\n \n\nAlso, "low" quality razors are usually single blade or disposable double blades. "High" quality usually have more blades - up to five, now, which is absolutely ridiculous. For women, single blade (cheap) razors are more effective if you don't shave your legs frequently. The single blade razor doesn't collect as much hair as two (or more) blades do.

Men's face? If you have no skin problem, I think any soap will be good. Normal soap is all equal, while for fat or dry skin could be useful utilize specific soap.

maybe you are allergic (the washing powder, your after shave, soap or something)
