I was wondering, what is your routine for the day(s) after your shave, and before the next shave?
Do you do anything special the day after the shave to get rid of any shave bumps?
Whether I shave or not on any particular day, everyday I apply some ASB after showering. For me, it helps to keep my face moisturized and softens any stubble.
I shave pretty much everyday. All of my prep for the next day is the finish of my shave. I apple witch hazel, Neutrogena oil-free moisture, and my AS. Good to go for the next day. It is now rare that I have any irritation/bumps. My pre-shave prep is taking a hot shower.
I've found that improving my technique was the key to irritation free shaves. No pressure and proper angle.
Nothing special for me. I shave everyday on the weekdays, and usually on the weekends as well. I wash my face at night, and in the shower in the morning, and I continue that regardless of whether I shave. If you've got a specific problem, like razor burn, or ingrown hair, or something, you might have to handle it differently though..
I shave every day and have done so for years. No special preparation except the previous days routine. Hot shower, hot water rinse, apply soap/cream of choice, select razor of choice with sharp blade (I don't try to unduly stretch blade life) and enjoy the shave.
