Razor burn is a bitch. And the bane of most men’s lives. Nothing takes the sexy out of being clean-shaven quite like breaking out into fiery red bumps. It not only looks bad but can sting like hell too. The sharper the blade the better the shave. A face scrub also helps prepare the skin by removing dead skin cells that clog up your razor. Use a blade no more than five times. If you’re brave enough to use a cutthroat: better still. Opt for a shave cream or gel rich in lubricating emollients like aloe vera. Apply a moisturiser after you shave – if you prefer to use a post-shave soother, make sure it’s alcohol free.
