About those razor bumps using alchol is not realy a good choice because it dries out your skin. So try using a moisturizing soap. But if you're going to use the alcohol wash your face immediately after a cut. Wash it rinse, and repeat. Then when your face is still a liilte moist put in some shea butter or something that really keeps your face moist. Doing this should at least keep the bumps down to maybe 2 or 3 at the most.

Most of the time I just rock a full beard to avoid the bumps. Plus all the women I know like the beard.

To prevent excessive razor bumps do like dontwista and just use clippers. The razor cuts to deep and sometimes those hairs curl up under the skin and never grow out.

^^^^^ wut he talking about is an "ingrown hair". it curls up under the skin and the result is a BIG GIGA PIMPLE. whitehead and all.  The hair grows back, it just looks uber nasty. My boi had that on his under arm, and he hadd to pop it. the bump burst open like a pinyata (or however u spell it). that sh*t only happens like 1 outta 60 times shaving, and his case was a worst case scenerio. other ingrown hair bumpz are way smaller.
