 | | Razor burn is the name for a condition of inflammed skin, manifesting itself into redness, sometimes bumps, and mainly a burning irritation, as caused by hair removal by almost any means including shaving with a razor, both manual and electric, trimming, or waxing. |
 | | Razor burn is caused by the irritation of the hair follicle or surrounding skin from the hair removal, or by creation of tiny cuts in the skin from razor nicks from a dull blade or poor electric razor, and/or the infection of the skin post-hair removal. |
 | | I enjoy the clossness of a shave that a razor provides, so I do not use an electric shaver, although many people report that this is the best way to eliminate the heartbreak of razor burn altogether. |
