Answer 1

aftershave it will burn for a bit but will take out the soreness and red

Answer 2

The bumps that you are seeing on your face could either be the beginning of ingrown hairs or an irritation of the dermis. If you do not use sufficient lubrication (shaving cream), then you will experience something called "shearing force".

I would suggest applying a warm moist compress on your face for about 5 min before shaving. You may also want to try incorporating some mild exfoliation bi-weekly. That should remedy the problem

Answer 3

try change how you shave:

Wetshaving is just what the term implies – keeping your face (or for women, their legs) wet with plenty of hot water before, and during, the entire shave. In fact, you should always shave after a hot shower, not before (if you need to shave without taking a shower, washing your face with hot water for a few minutes will suffice). With a layer of hot water between your skin and the lather, the blade skims the surface instead of dragging on it, which is the main cause of irritation, redness, and “shave bumps”.

Answer 4

First, try some lotions and gels when you shave that are for sensitive skin. They are created for the exact purpose of preventing these irritations. If this does not work, visit your local dermatologist to see what they recommend.
