Give it time: Sometimes you need to give the skin time to heal. You may need to take a shaving break for the next week, let your skin heal. Then take a hot bath or shower and the best time to shave is while your pores are open from the hot cleansing water. Use a shaving cream and razor designed for sensitive skin. Some women even find shaving while in the shower helps decrease irritation. Best wishes.
