[itzxcolin]

Whenever I shave I irritate the fuck outta my acne and cause it to bleed sometimes. What should I do, want a clean shave

Just don't go over the fucking pimple lmfao. Go around it or close to it. If you can't do that then follow a shaving direction line guide, and also use razors with less blades. Moisturize before and after and use benzol peroxide if it's rly bad.

Maybe you can use a hair removal creme, give it a try and see how your skin reacts. Don't shave it if it irritates. Fix your acne, then shave regularly. Until then, look for alternatives as suggested.

You're going to have to sort out your acne properly first.

The fact that you don't know how to shave with acne tells me that you haven't been to a dermatologist. If you have money go to a dermatologist asap. Acne has many causes and sometimes it's caused by the hair follicles being infected by either bacteria or fungus. If that's the case most of the skinmaxxing guides here won't help you. You'll either need to go onto a heavy course of antibiotics/antifungal medicine or accutane. The dermatologist will also tell you how to shave with acne and if he doesn't tell you ask him (but he really should if he's competent).

But here are some additional tips:
-Don't use a cartridge razor with a lot of blades. They cut closer to the skin and thus are more likely to hit your acne. Instead use electric shavers, safety razors or cartridge razors with very few blades (3 or less).
-Don't shave every day if you don't have to.
-Shave with the grain as shaving against the grain is more likely to cut your skin/acne. If you need a really close shave, go with the grain the first time and against the grain the second time. This will reduce the likelihood of you being cut.
-If you are using a reusable cartridge razor, sterilize it each time with rubbing alcohol (wash it off before you start shaving with it) and throw it away the second the blades seem to dull.
-Cleanse your face with a cleaner before and after your shave as well.

I use an electric razor, it never cuts my skin. Throw out the cheap disposable ones.

I also have this problem due to severe acne, just get as low as you can get it with an electric razor and then get as much as you can with a single/straight blade razor.

Use a single blade razor.

do you have a good hair removal crème that isn’t permanent (lasts for weeks to months is great, just not forever) and won’t destroy my endocrine system

there are plenty, none last forever. Only lasering lasts forever if repeated a few times. dont do that lmao. just try a few creams from your local drug store.
