How to Stop Razor Bumps.

[Itiswhatitis]

I'm a young black male by the way,and I didn't always have razor bumps and haven't gained any more facial hair than normal so I'm not sure why I'm gettin it now. But anybody know shaving techniques to prevent razor bumps?

Shave directly before showering (I use an automatic razor, last time I used shaving cream my face hated it) and then wash your face thouroughly with warm water.

Either that or put on johnson and johnson anti-bacterial cream after shaving. I recommend the shower tip.

I shave with a shick dual blade straight after a shower... the hair is at its weakest then, and less likely to get irritated. Haven't had any problems.

Warm up your skin and open your pores with warm water, ie, showering before you shave.

Since you're black (me too), I'm going to assume your hair is thick and curly. If that's the case, then people with that type of hair tend develop PFB easier. Use bump stopper or similar product afterwards to prevent razor bumps.

You can also try an electric razor, or using the lowest setting on a pair of hair clippers that don't go *totally bald*, but close enough. That's what gets the job done for me. Good luck.
