Razor burn is usually from the friction between your blade and your face. It is basically a post-shave irritation or rash. Thankfully, it is easily remedied with good products and being attentive when you are shaving. Use a pre-shave oil before the shaving soap. The oil will help lubricate your skin and reduce friction. Use a sharp blade. For those of you who shave with a cartridge razor, I know new blades can be expensive, but they are not worth shredding your face over. Try to change your blade about every 3 or 4 shave.Don't apply too much pressure, let your blade do the work, if you press you are just causing more and more friction. Make less passes. The more times you shave the same area, the more likely you are going to experience irritation if you use one of those cartridge razors with 80+ blades it's just overkill for your skin. That goes into another point, you can try to use a razor with fewer blades.Avoid going against the grain. And to sum it all up you want to use a moisturizer or aftershave that does not have alcohol to help heal your skin, alcohol based aftershaves only irritate your skin even more.
