This is a huge and tricky problem. First of all, see a dermatologist to make sure you are treating your skin properly. He or she will then assess whether you should be shaving at all, or how or when you can shave and help you heal the acne so that you can shave properly.

If you have occasional breakouts of acne, one thing you can do is use an electric razor, during those times, which will allow you to shorten the length of whiskers acceptably; a conventional razor would likely cut the blemishes and make things worse.

Keep your skin clean in any case, since this will help healing.
