How can you take away razor bumps after shaving?

Several ways.: Shave down and away (against the grain). Use an electric razor. You need to see a dermatologist for evaluation and treatment.

Razor bumps: Insure you use fresh, sharp blades vice dull blades. If hair is > several mm long – then trim before shaving. Wash area before shaving – warm water helps to soften hair. Use a lubricant when shaving. Avoid using products that contain alcohol or are scented. Shave in direction of the hair – not against it. Be gentle when shaving – don’t push down too hard. Moisturize skin after shaving.>
