Yeah. Electric shavers also gave me tons of razor bumps as well.
What I do now is use a double-bladed safety razor and a huge pack of a hundred razor blades. I shave in the shower using conditioner as shaving cream. It's not the closest shave, but I'm a cis dude with pretty light colored hair so that's not my biggest priority. If you want a closer shave with a safety razor you can use actual shaving cream applied with a brush and shave in front of the sink with hot water after a shower and you can get real close with that. Some people swear that applying aftershave can actually also help with skin irritation from a close shave, but I never bothered.
Anyway it's way cheaper than cartridge razors and less irritating to your skin than an electric razor. It has a small learning curve, but not a significant one.
What kind of razor do you use and do you use any sort of shaving cream?
