Use a thick shaving gel. Don't stretch the skin when shaving, and always shave in the direction your beard grows. Use the fewest razor strokes possible. Rinse with cold water. Use an electric razor if it can be adjusted to a higher setting. these are steps i take and they really work Use a moisturizing lotion after shaving.

The press releases on the Tendskin website talk about exfolliation as a way to ease razor bumps. In reality, the "active" ingredient in this product is acetylsalicylic acid, also known as aspirin. Asprin is an effective anti-inflammatory which is exactly what you need to soothe irritated follicles. Bottom line is, yes, this product could be worth a try.
