Thread: Razor Bumps

In my very short and limited experience they go away after about a day if you use Aloe of some kind. My roommate, who I am currently mooching off of straight razor wise until I can get my own, has an aloe aftershave stuff that works very well. It's called "Thayer's Natural Remedies" Its got aloe and some scent in it to (he has lemon and withhazel) so it gives you healing powers and a nice smell.

As for the bumps, I think I'm starting to notice I get bad bumps when I shave against the grain first on my neck. When I shave with the grain I only get one massive red splotch that goes away with some aloe and an hour or less. So try making sure you first shave with the grain until you really develop your technique. I recommend shaving twice. Once with the grain, once against. It gives me a much more comfortable shave with little razor burn.
