Razor burn is very painful, but you can follow these simple steps to get a smooth shave without the irritating bumps and burn.

To complete this How-To you will need:

Warm water
A washcloth
Baby oil
Shaving cream
A razor with multiple blades
A towel
Aftershave cream or lotion or aloe vera gel
A shaving cream warmer (optional)

Step 1: Splash skin

Splash warm water on the areas that you will be shaving.

Tip: Shaving while showering opens pores and hair follicles, lessening the chance of razor burn.

Step 2: Soak washcloth

Soak the washcloth in warm water, wring out any excess, and then add a few drops of baby oil to the center of the cloth.

Step 3: Condition skin

Condition your skin by wiping it with the prepared washcloth.

Step 4: Apply shaving cream

Apply shaving cream to your skin.

Tip: Warm shaving cream can help reduce razor burn.

Step 5: Shave

Shave with a fresh razor blade to reduce abrasions and nicks. Use short strokes with minimal pressure, shave in the direction of hair growth, and rinse the blade between each stroke.

Tip: Try not to go over the area over and over.

Step 6: Rinse

Rinse oil and cream from your skin using cold water and then pat dry.

Step 7: Soothe skin

Soothe your shaved skin with aftershave cream or lotion, or aloe vera gel.

You don't need a razor with multiple blades !!! I went back to old stype shaving with a straight razor and double edge single blade razor. The more blades the greater chance of ingrown hairs and over-exfoliating the skin. Multiple blades also cost way too much money .

If there are multiple truths, and those truths conflict with each other, then how are all of them true at once? That makes absolutely no sense.
