Remedies for Razor Bumps

I'm wondering if any of you have any effective ways of getting rid of razor bumps. They've been getting out of control for me recently.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Actually, to start off with, you're a guy and we're talking about shaving your face, right? Just clarifying.

Yes, yes, I'm a guy. I use a simple Gillette shaving cream. I do shave against the grain, and I know that if I want to prevent razor bumbs, I should shave with it but I want a close shave.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

But does anyone know of any cream or other substance that you can apply to the razor bumps to get rid of them?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

The thing is I used to only get a few bumps while shaving with a two-bladed razor or sometimes a Sensor 3 from Gillette, but I've been recently using a Shick Quattro, and the bumps having been getting out of hand since then. I put two and two together and stopped using those and recently bought some single bladed Bic razors, but am still getting bumps.

I will now wait a week to let my hair grow and let the bumps go away before shaving again, and when I do I'll use the tips you have all suggested. I will, however, not switch to an electric razor because I reall like my close shaves.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
