• I've heard it can.  Though, I would work on finding the root of the problem.  You're using shaving oil, right?

  yeah, i just added shave oil into my shaving routine. as with shaving gel. i've got a COMFORTABLE SHAVE. it's extremely close without cutting my head to pieces.
  
  i've used rubbin acholol on my neck, the irritation & bumps went down dramactially.  i think i mite add rubbin acholol to my aftershave routine.see how that goes

• Alcohol is good, but for myself I use bump stopper (sold in most drug stores). There's even Bump stopper2 for those of us with severe bump issues. Works well on face as well as head

  i also use some stuff called "Bump Stopper, Dare To Be Bald". it's a pretty decent moisturizer.

• I'm a fellow black man, and I have been battling razor bumps until very recently.
  
  
  In addition to rubbing alcohol, I slather on some antibacterial ointment. I use the generic brand of Neosporin. It has helped 100% stop all razor bumps.
  
  Now, if you don't like the slimy feel of antibacterial ointment on your head all day, I would use it 20 minutes before you to to bed. I wouldnt put it on and then immediately hop in bed because it'll rub off on your pillow case.
  
  Goodluck

• Do you get this irritation with both razor and electric? Have you tried Witch Hazel yet?

• I'd advise against using rubbing alcohol too often because it drys your skin.  Neosporin can be used on occasion, but you shouldn't over use it.  Try a mild astringent like witch hazel which is natural (there is a witch hazel plant!) and can be found at drug stores and chains like CVS and Walgreen's. 
  
  Also, make sure your skin is clean and moist / wet before you shave.  That way the hair is softer and easier for the razor to cut.

  i use razors with guards on them. so they don't cut TOO close.
  
  i shold really stop procastinating & go get this Witch Hazel.
