Clean your shaver or razor before, after, and during the shave to prevent bacterial infection. Clean your shaver also can retain its sharpness. Using sharp blades reduce tug and pull during your shave.
Do not apply extra pressure on the shaver
Shave with the grain and don't add too much pressure on your electric shaver to help avoid razor burn, irritation, and cuts.
Do no go over the same area repeatedly
Once you scrape off the shaving cream, be mindful of repeating strokes, as this decreases lubrication, which can lead to shaving irritation.
Apply a skin moisturizer after shaving
Rinse your skin under warm water after your shave and gently pat the skin dry after shaving. Soothe your skin with an alcohol-free aftershave balm.
If you really want the skin irritation and razor burn to stay away, you should give your skin more recovery time in between shaves.
