Re: Does anyone get razor bumps after tanning & shaving?

Dermatologists just say its pseudofoliculitis and of course, "stay out of the sun" -- so not much help from them.

I've tried the mach 3 too but they all seem to do it. The 5 blade is the Gillette fusion which I just like the best bc I get a 5'oclock shadow at noon if I use smaller razors. But, everything except growing a beard causes the problem.

I think I'm just stuck with this. I think beds with more UVB do it worse than UVA beds...but I haven't totally figured it out yet. It could just be the heat.
Don't tan your face more then a few minutes and stop putting so much junk of your face. Go buy some pure organic coconut butter...with organic red tea if you can find it.
