Without sugar coating anything, I am a very hairy somebody. I was born that way because I inherited the trait from my dab. And I wasn't the only son that inherited it from him, but all of us as the children including the females. Actually, when I was in secondary school, my friends used to call me animal, because of how hairy I was. And they thought I was an old man because at that tender age, my face was already covered with noticeable faint hairs.

Due to this, I decided to start shaving myself using shaving stick. Unfortunately, the first time I tried it was the last I used shaving stick, because it gave me bumps that made my face look disgusting. And it took me months before I was able treat it successfully.
After this time, I went for clipper, and luckily for me, it didn't give me bumps like the shaving stick did. What I am saying in essence, is that, we do have different skin types that specifically require different shaving methods. Once you find what method works you, you can then start using it in order for rashes or bumps to be kept at bay.

In addition, after knowing the exact method which work for you, just like I did, make use of dusty power or after shave cream or spirit depending on which one that suits you skin type.

Make sure you clipper is sharp and clean, blunt and unclean shaving instruments can cause bumps. To some people each time they use razors or shaving stick it can cause bumps , so stick to shaving clipper, and always wash up after shaving.

To deal with shaving bumps or rashes effectively, follow these steps:

1. **Stop Shaving**: Refrain from shaving the affected area until the bumps or rash have healed to prevent further irritation.

2. **Cleanse the Area**: Wash the affected area gently with a mild cleanser to remove any dirt, oil, or bacteria.

3. **Apply a Warm Compress**: Use a warm, damp washcloth or towel to apply gentle pressure to the affected area for a few minutes. This helps to open up the pores and soothe the skin.

4. **Use an Over-the-Counter Treatment**: Apply an over-the-counter topical treatment specifically designed to soothe shaving bumps or rashes. Look for products containing ingredients like hydrocortisone, aloe vera, tea tree oil, or witch hazel, which can help reduce inflammation and soothe irritation.

5. **Moisturize**: Apply a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer to the affected area to keep the skin hydrated and promote healing. Look for moisturizers containing ingredients like ceramides or hyaluronic acid, which help to repair the skin barrier.

6. **Avoid Irritants**: Avoid using harsh skincare products, alcohol-based aftershaves, or fragranced lotions that can further irritate the skin.

7. **Consider Hydrocortisone Cream**: If the bumps or rash are particularly inflamed or itchy, you can apply a thin layer of over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream to the affected area to help reduce inflammation and relieve itching.

8. **Give it Time**: Shaving bumps or rashes usually improve within a few days with proper care and treatment. Be patient and allow your skin time to heal.

9. **Prevent Future Bumps**: To prevent shaving bumps or rashes in the future, use a sharp razor, shave in the direction of hair growth, and use a shaving cream or gel to lubricate the skin. Consider using an electric razor or alternative hair removal methods if shaving continues to cause irritation.

If shaving bumps or rashes persist or worsen despite home care measures, or if you experience severe discomfort or signs of infection such as pus or swelling, consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment.
