Reply:Make sure you wash with hot water first,that helps to soften the skin,and use a shaving gel especially for sensitive skin

Reply:My fiance tends to use sudacrem as he is prone to skin irritation. He puts it on overnight and just after he shaves. It helps to heal the skin as well.
Reply:I'm a guy who's been shaving without using shaving cream for about 3 years now. So skin irritation isn't really a big problem for me. ;-)
Reply:I use the Venus razor and a gel with lotion in it....works great....Also the hotter the water the more irritated you'll be try usng cooler water
Reply:Shave while in the shower. (but not with an electric shaver)
Reply:Depends on if you are using a razor or an electric shaver. If you are using a traditional razor you should put a light coating of face lotion or baby oil on your face first. You cannot do this with an electric, but a good facial moisturizer put on right after shaving will decrease irritation
Reply:well i hope to find out too.. as electric causes irritation on my neck and wet cuts my face ~:(





but the best thing i have found soo far to reduce both is to have a damn hot bath or shower....and use plenty of gel type shaving gel.





Please note having a hot bath or shower then getting out so your cold will cause your skin to contract and cause goosebumps(even if you cant see them) and will make shaving difficult and the bath or shower pointless.
Reply:hgt water to soften your face and whiskers and a good shaving cream or jell and always a sharp razor
Reply:Wash your face first. Use lots of hot water to soften your facial hair. Leave the shaving cream on your face for 5-10 minutes to soften the beard further. Go with the grain of your face while shaving, not against. Afterwards, close your pores and tighten your skin by splashing cold water on your face. Avoid skin lotions and moisturizers which might irritate your skin.





You might try getting a mirror for the shower and shaving while showering.
