Disclosure: The information i am posting is not a � guarantee that it will work for you, it just what I did and it seems to be working for me and i thought i should share. First of all, I've been dealing with beard bumps for a very long time 7-8 years. Ive used a lot of stuffs, drugs, aftershave, alcohol (dont blame me, i was desperate), most of them useless, some of them work and stop working. The worst bumps happens when i use either shaving stick or blade, its really unpleasant.. Going to shave, and every time barbers complain about your bumps, unnecessary blood every time you shave. So I realized that I get less bumps when I shave outside compared to when i do it myself, so my first resolution is i won't shave myself again either with cream, blade or clipper. Thats just what the barber does for me, just shaving my beards. If this is something you can do, its great, you'll need to start shaving outside.. Then get a very good liquid aftershave, I use this blue-coloured one, i dont know its name. After the shave, apply this aftershave when you get home and wait for it to dry...it will sting though so be prepared. After this, I apply the Aboniki Balm to it, you can get it for #200 - #300. I apply just the balm after each bath and in like a week, I can see the difference. Not completely gone tho, but 80% positive change. So if this is something you can try, try it and see if it will work for you. Goodluck! These pictures are one week apart
