J, this is one of the most common we get asked. Shaving rash affects most men at some stage in their shaving 'lifetime'. Luckily enough there is an abundance of products to help to ease the issue and prevent this ugly rash from rearing its head.

Before you look at the products though, you can try to prevent your shave rash from appearing altogether. Firstly, ensure that you are using the correct kit when you shave. Ensure you shave with a sharp razor, prepare the skin with a face scrub and generously apply your desired shaving lubricant before taking to your blade, not to mention using hot water - as hot as you can bare it, without burning the skin of course!

If you have this all in place, your shave should proceed problem-free, but if your rash doesn't disappear, try applying barc Bump Down Razor Bump Relief after your shave. This astringent after shave cream will soothe the skin and disinfect the area, and is one of the most effective after shave creams around.
