Anyone have any tips for shaving with a sunburn?
Don't do it! Take a break for a few days man.
I second that. I don't think I've ever shaved with a sunburn.
All of the above....!:cool:Quote:

Try an Aloe based lotion to alleviate the sunburn and WAIT until it's healed.
And lots of natural moisturiser too - as previously indicated.
I was going to be a smarta$$ and say that I've never tried shaving with a sunburn 'cause they are too harsh for my face but I didn't.
Perhaps more screen next time? - but you already knew that, eh :fim:
Tips? No, I just shave as usual. It's not pleasant, but that's part of life.Quote:

I bet proraso pre shave would feel good on your face, if you have some, use it as a moisturizer. As the other's said, Keep your face moisturized, and take a few days off to heal.
+1 to what zib said. We always used Noxema on a bad sunburn, it seems to cool and moisturize.
Take a few days off, shaving while you have sunburn is ROUGH.
Any product containing Calendula is great for any kind of burn & will shorten healing time.
Aloe works well. It would try to avoid shaving if it is really red.
Sounds like a great time to introduce yourself to the cold-water shave. I only shave cold in the summer, as cold as the tap will run, and I keep my witchazel in the fridge. Aaaaahhh!
But wait on that shave til the burn's healed a little. Hang in there!
Best wishes
Just think about applying some Clubman AS to that fresh sunburn. Bet it doesn't tickle.:)
Some times you just gotta suck if up and go for it, i've had to do it a few times. I used proraso when I was burnt, I also recommend Noxzema to help with the burn I always use it on sunburns and it feels great
I haven't done it(I'm pretty careful not to get burned, and don't burn very easily for some one as fair skinned as I am, anyhow) , but I would think that the same basics apply that apply to any shave with raw skin (which does happen from time to time when I try new products that don't agree with me) . Slow, careful, gentle, good prep, a very gentle, soothing AS, and don't go for the closest shave you can get, go for the least close you can get away with.
