Shave just after a bath, so that the hair is soft and the follicles are less irritated.  Change the razor blade frequently.

Apply aloe vera gel or lotion after shaving.  If the skin is irritated, continue application for a few days.  Calendula is also soothing.

Home remedies can help prepare the skin for shaving that’ll not only prevent the occurrence of razor burn, but also give a smooth, close shave without causing skin irritation. A hot compress with a drop of lavender essential oil (Lavandula angustifolia) applied to skin helps make it tender and soft. And a layer of moisturizing oil, like jojoba or avocado leaves the skin soft and smooth.

Apple cider vinegar: Its antiseptic qualities prevent infection. All you need do is to pat the affected area with it.

A mask made from all natural ingredients using mashed strawberries mixed with sour cream. You can get relief in ten minutes flat on applying it on the face or legs. Use the mask twice a week to refresh and calm the skin.

Creams containing Aloe vera are an effective home remedy for razor burn. Aloe is safe and good for skin, so use it daily to maintain a healthy skin.
