can't shave my neck with a razor, it gets sore and i get little red dots (i guess cut-off hair sacks or something? if anyone has any tips here, please do share), so generally i use a machine for what's below what i consider my beard (well, below my beard) twice a week, then shave my face with a razor every other day. i trim the beard once a week.
as for showers... well i took one in february.
you may not lubricate your face enough.
you may be using a piece of shit razor
you must exfoliate your skin because if you dont, the hairs will start growing in your pores or someshit like that - hence the whole "Razor bumps" thing you got going on... thats what those little red dots are. To exfoliate:
- use a loofah or whatever the fuck theyre called. theyre this rough scrub thing...scrub your face with it every now and then. or just use an exfoliation cream.
- when you wash away your face after you shave use COLD water. this CLOSES the pores straight away, preventing those bumps to appear. hot water OPENS those pores which is why you use hot water to shave, to make it much more smoother and gentler on your skin.
also moisturise after shaving.
after typing this i must add no homo - but i have an excuse cos i suffered from the exact same thing. shaving was destroying my face. it looked like a deforrestation massacre in the amazon. so i researched that shit and thats what i came with. it's helped.
also try shaving IN the shower with hot water running on your face constantly. it's less painful and smoother.
