A number of products or devices have emerged in recent years offering solutions for this dreaded problem. Depilatory products, e.g. Magic Shave, are probably most familiar, and do offer some relief, however, depilatories are extremely harsh and frequently foul smelling and are incapable of dealing with ingrowing hairs that fail to exit the skin. Specially razors, e.g., American Safety Razors' "Bump Fighter" also offer a degree of relief by not allowing the shaver to shave too close, thus lessening scraping and irritation. However, these razors do nothing to prevent the hairs from turning back into the skin. They are, however, excellent for shaving over extremely severe bumped areas. The same could also be said for specialty electric shavers, e.g. Wahl's Shaver Shaper. Retin-A or retinoic acid is frequently suggested by physicians and dermatologists as a prescription type remedy, however, should be monitored carefully inasmuch as Retin-A also tends to be quite harsh.

In 1972, High Time Products, Inc., founded by H.R. Philips a black pharmacist/chemist who personally suffered form severe razor bumps, pioneered new technology for razor bump relief in the form of an aftershave treatment that basically addresses all of the known symptoms normally associated with PFB. This amazing aftershave treatment is used quite simply with any type razor, shaver, or even depilatory and offers total resolution from ingrowing hairs or razor bumps. High Time Bump Stopper and Bump Stopper - 2 Razor Bump Treatments have proven time and time again to be the most effective solution for razor bumps on the market today.
