How To Treat And Prevent Razor Burn
- ›Sharp blade, warm water, plenty of lubrication, with the grain first.
- ›Aftershave balm, not alcohol-heavy splash.
- ›Never dry-shave. Never re-shave same area more than twice.
Razor burn is friction and irritation. Every fix reduces one or the other.
Prevention
New blade every 5–7 shaves. Shave after showering when hair is softest. Use enough lubrication that the razor glides. First pass with the grain, second pass across if needed.
Post-shave
Rinse cold. Aftershave balm (soothing) not old-school alcohol splash (irritating for many).
If you already have razor burn
Skip shaving for 48 hours. Aftershave balm morning and night. Cool compresses if severe.
Aftershave Balm — the post-shave step that stops razor burn before it starts.
