Ingrown Hairs

Try showering before you shave and whilst in the shower, rub a little shaving cream into your hair and leave it for a few minutes then rinse. I find this works wonders for softening the hair. Also, have you considered using a de safety razor? They're a little trickier to use than a cartridge razor but are less likely to give you ingrown hairs as they only have a single blade

I had an issue with ingrown hairs/bumps as an every other day shaver. I started going everyday and I have only the occasional bump. I have found that if I take and Aspirin and wet it, then rub it between my fingers to make a paste, and then rub the paste on the bump, it makes it clear up really fast, typically in 2 days. I do the paste before bed and give it some time to dry.

I've been fighting folliculitis for years, and after about 6 months of experimenting, I've finally found a manageable routine.

-I wash my head twice a day with simple Neutrogena soap.
-I stay away from hats.
-I shower after I shave.
-I shave with cold water
-I use Tend Skin twice a day
-I use Nivea Creme moisturizer once or twice a day.
