I'd suggest he start using a straight razor or a double-edge (DE) safety razor. Ingrown hairs are a problem because of the "lift-and-cut" system that disposable razors employ these days. The straight razors and DEs only have one edge so none of th...
I also rock a straight razor and have found that it makes you focus much more on the shave and thus avoid razor burn. You have to take your time(20-30 minutes), which is good in a world where everyone is rushing around. The only difference in our ...
For me, on my work days I shave in the shower to get a close shave as I tend to take hot showers. On my off days, I use my mug and brush at the sink taking my time to get a close shave. I will give my face a break only once a week from shaving as ...
I used to get razor burn on my face all the time with safety razors, it's not been a problem with a straight razor. Check out straightrazorplace on the internet, it's great. The best shaving soap I've found is made by Colleen Hurley in West Virgin...

Sometimes, it depends on what he's using. We here would all like to pretend that a safety razor works the best for everyone, but some skin responds better to an electric shaver. If he hasn't experienced both, recommend that he try the other for a ...
He actually may want to go to his doctor. Most men have in-grown hairs because they've never learned to shave properly, but people who are born with curly hair have it much more difficult. There are a wide array of products for African-American me...
I have a client that has HORRIBLE razor burn and ingrown hairs all the time. His hair (on his head) is quite curly so I assume this is most of the problem. Do any of you have any suggested products or tricks to minimize these issues.
