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?

      A barber will put a hot damp towel on someones face for a few minutes prior to shaving, can you microwave a wet facecloth?

        depending on how hot one’s water comes, soaking in faucet-hot water is enough here. just squeze out most the water first. if one does microwave… gotta be careful as the heating may be uneven. another option is an electric kettle (as for tea,) in the bathroom.
