Why does my face break out when ever I shave?!

Question: Why does my face break out when ever I shave?

I'm in high school and have acne prone skin, I use clearasil ultra face wash and I shave about once a week with gillette match 3 blades and I use the clearasil as shave cream, why does my face break out with a bunch of acne?
How can I prevent it?
What products should I use?

Answers:

Maybe its in your sensitive skin. Use facial wash to prevent acne. I use Nivea Active 3 as a shaving cream then I put moisturizer after.

Use a hot washcloth on your face prior to shaving to soften the hair. Then wet your face with water and use a quality shaving cream. Shave your face then use an alcohol swab on your face also if alcohol burns you too much you can use witch hazel which is generally sold on the same isle at the pharmacy department of your favorite store or pharmacy. Both are astringents which makes your pores close after you have shaved. Should help cut down on those break outs. DO NOT USE CLEARASIL as a shaving cream.
