How can I prevent razor burn?
The key strategy here is to not shave against the grain (see question above for details). You also want to remember to employ a clean, sharp razor as often as possible. Using a new blade will ensure the razor glides smoothly across the face, lessening missed spots that cause for repeated strokes, which can cause skin irritations. Likewise, rinse the razor after each stroke to remove hair built up between the blades. If you use an electric razor, clean the blades before or after each use. Also, mechanics and razor condition aside, try a splash of cold water immediately after the shave to close your pores and reduce the chances of irritation.
