After 10 laser treatments, I still have to shave (everything grew back thicker than before and I can't afford electrolysis).  It works out fine except when I break a sweat.  Suddenly, even if it's hours after I shaved, my face starts breaking out and I get clocked really easily!

I don't know what to do.  I can't really afford makeup (and when I try to put it on I end up looking like a 4-year-old trying to be a circus clown because I have such poor coordination).  I tried washing my face after my shave but that only works a little bit.

I need to be able to get out and break a sweat though.  I've been avoiding it all year and I'm starting to gain weight and get noticeably out of shape because of this.  I've been clocked and been on the end of a lot of hostility because of this.

Can someone recommend a way to prevent this from happening?  I'm seriously thinking about getting into pushing hard drugs or stealing phones to pay for electrolysis at this point.  I'm unemployable because of my condition but I keep getting turned down for SSD so I have no money.

A bit more info: I shave with an electric razor because razor cuts are a dead giveaway and I can't really shave without cutting myself.  Shaving cream just increases the number of cuts and does nothing for irritation.

It could just be worn out blades in the razor. They will dull over time and rather then cut the hair it will pull and yank on them. Also cleaning the blades and head in alcohol to get rid of oil residue and all the itty bits of hair dust.

When I am spending a good long day out I use a blade. Nothing beats it and I maybe in a blue moon nick myself. A styptic (sp) pencil is the quick cure.

Makeup takes practice. Lots and lots of practice. There are a ton of videos these days. I learned from books. Less is more... most times. For a while I was doing my face over 2 or 3 different times a night practicing and experimenting

I clean it regularly.

That's what they told me about my handwriting in school.  From 1st grade to 9th they tried to fix me, writing page after page of handwriting practice. I never got better because of my bad coordination though.  I was born with it.  It makes everything difficult and it makes makeup next to impossible.

Electric razors tear me up.  Quad bladed razors in a hot shower give much better results even after weeks of use
