What do when i have multiple bumps after shaving?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pretreat your face: Take a shower first to heat up and soften your whiskers. Use a pre-shave oil and apply shave cream. Only shave with or across the grain of hair growth - never shave against the grain. If you shave against the grain, you risk creating ingrown hairs and those irritated red bumps. If shaving still causes trouble, then experiment with an electric shaver.
