How to prevent razor burn for men?

My husbands hair grows every which way, which makes shaving a problem. He shaves up and then down and then side to side, in order to get all the hair. He's tried everything. Electric razors dont work, heat the skin doesnt work, cooling the skin doesnt work. I work in skin care and I SHOULD know how to help him, but nothing seems to work. Any advice would help out a lot. Thanks

    please, please, believe me!

    shower shave!

    make it the last thing he does before he gets out of the shower. his beard will be it's softest as will his skin...

    use a good safety razor (i have a gillette fusion) and a shave gel (not the can ones, but one in a tube). most of the time i get "king of shaves" at the drug store, but the top designers make nice ones that i like to treat myself to also ;-)

    i suggest shaving twice a day until the razor burn dissipates,,, change blades often, i change every two to three weeks... he can shave against the grain this way for the closest shave possible also...

    you really don't need a mirror in the shower, you can feel your way through the shave and clean up your sideburns when out of the shower...

    good luck!

    its really a helpless situation.

    see, you are in SKIN CARE, so you must be knowing it much better.

    But still if it hasn't been solved out,the only help is a good renowned skin doctor!
