Kevin, 27, is sporting a beard for a long time as he is too scared of razor burns on his face. So he explains when anybody asks about his beard -“I have a thick facial hair. Every time I shave them, I get a terrible razor burn on my neck. It is so ugly and painful; so I thought I’d rather have a beard than have a razor burn and bumps.” Kevin just wants to know how to prevent and treat razor burn before he attempts to shave again.
