Every time after I shave, I get more acne in those areas. I use a safety razor and an oat based cream. I always wash my face beforehand. Is there a way I can reduce the amount of acne I get after shaving?

      the alchohol is there to kill to the bacteria- which is the immediate cause of acne. most aftershave splashes will also include some glycerin to re-moisturize the skin.

      if you don’t want a scented product, you can do IPA and then some aftershave balm instead.
