Ok, let me start off by giving you a little background info. I'm a 30yr old male, I eat healthy, stay fit, and have a pretty clear completion overall. My problem is the several ingrown hairs I get after shaving ...on my neck, under my chin, on my upper lip, on the side of my face. Usually 6-10 little white bumps that develop a day or so after I shave. I only shave about every 2-3 day because it seems less irritation to my face. I have tried shaving with a plain razor....but an electric razor seems to be much less irritation to my skin.

Now I understand what causes ingrown hairs, and I know why shaving causes them.....but here is what is baffling me.........if I shave in the morning as soon as I wake up, I usually don't have any ingrown hairs..NONE. I just get up, and shave.

If I wash my face in the morning before I shave....I get them all over.

If I shave in the afternoon.....I get them all over.

If I shave at night.......I get them all over.

Even if I am very careful and don't use a lot or pressure, and wash my face before and afterwards.......unless I shave when I first get up in the morning....I always get several ingrown hairs a day or so after I shave.

The only time I can shave and not be covered in little white bumps from ingrown hairs a day later is if I shave as soon as I wake up in the morning.

Why?????
