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?

    Then consider investing in a brush and something like a Merkur 34C.

    i had a really bad experience with the 34c. Basically the posts for the blade to ‘register’ to, allowed a relatively significant amount of play I’ve never seen in any other razor. This made seating it and using it at the ‘proper’ angle impossible- it also tended to make one side vastly more aggressive than the other, since a significant amount of blade was exposed on one side and not-enough on the other. (or worse, it was twisted so that on half the edge was too exposed and the other half was not, on both sides the blade.)

    maybe they fixed it, but, I sort of doubt it.
