Sharp razor: Most men shave everyday and don't get razor burns/bumps because they use a sharp razor with shaving cream. Women tend to use some soap/cold cream and a plastic razor. This results in hair being yanked out instead of being cut, leading to razor bumps.

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.
