Have you tried rubbing your face with a hot wet washcloth before shaving? This helps me alot but I've never had more than like 2 ingrown hairs on my face in my life that I can remember.
 
hes probably talking about on his nutsack..

just keep urself clean.. shower frequently after u shave
 
i used to get a really close shave when shaving with the grain. now, shaving with grain leaves stubbles and stuff; i can't get a close shave without shaving against.

any way i can fix this?
 
here is what i do

warm wet washcloth against the grain to raise hair
a little bit of aftershave lotion against the grain
apply lotion with a brush
shave with the grain, cheeks first then neck, sideburns, then under nose and chin
warm washcloth then aftershave lotion.

change your blade
 
I shave in the shower with a fog free mirror. Never have to worry about cuts or gashes ever again, and your face feels soooo smooth.

i always shave just after i shower. keep the steam and humidity in your bathroom if you go this way. I also use that brush/puck instead of the foam in a can. I like this way alot more. Im gonna try that wash cloth thing tho

I've had a perscription for razor burn also. There is actually a bacteria associated with this if I remember my dermotolgist correctly. Man that stuff made my face feel soo good. I need to go get some again.

The shaving cream they gave is called Benzeshave. I forget what the aftershave is called. But yes it works awesome.

I just put some hot water on my face before I put the shaving cream on, can't remember having any either. Except on my lower neck.
 
rubbing with a hot cloth takes all the dead skin away and softens your skin. Hot water alone won't help him as much.
