Razor Burns occur due to a number of factors but luckily there are solutions to prevent razor burns from happening and remedies should you suffer from razor burns. Following are the most common men's skin care remedies to combat further irritating razor burns and shaving irritations.
Always use a high quality Vitamin enriched men's shaving cream like Men’s Botanics Dual Action Shave Cream.

Avoid supermarket brands full of petrochemicals this will cause you more irritations during and after shaving.

Always shave with the grain – you don’t drive against the traffic because that causes gridlock and havoc, the rule same applies to shaving, shave with the grain for limited friction, burn and havoc to your skin.
Many men feel they need to go against the grain to get that baby bum texture, DON’T! If you use the right shaving cream and technique you will receive that smooth feeling even when shaving with the grain.
Don’t put pressure on the blade when you shave, some men feel that their skin is as thick as the hind of a Rhino, well it’s not! Go easy on your skin and run the blade across it as if it was a blade on ice.
Don’t try and shave with the one motion, you need to rinse your blade after even stroke to unclog your blade from your shaved bristles and cream.
The shaving action of the shaving routine is actually really step 2 or 3 of the Shaving process. Always wash you face with a quality Men's Facial Cleanser like the Men’s Botanics Ultra Power Cleanser to help remove dirt and soften the bristles before the shave. Use a men's face exfoliator 2 – 3 times a week to help remove dead skin, blackheads and to lift bristles from your face to ensure you get a smooth shave.
