Shave properly: If you have a rash from shaving i would not shave until the rash results. Once it does the proper way to shave is to wash the area with warm water and soap. Rinse it off and then apply to gel shaving cream. Use a blade that is sharp and don't go over an area too many times.

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