Heh. I'm one of those people. Used to drive me crazy because I'd get a zit that would be there until I finally got the hair our with tweezers. What a pain in the neck - pun intended!
I finally figured out that the blade needs to be sharp - really sharp. And really clean. Ingrown hairs (for me) tend to be the hairs that aren't cleanly cut. Using a good soap like the Razor Defense really softens my beard as well which helps the razor do its work. Since I figured that out I've been shaving super close with zero problems. That's why I change my blade every two weeks. Period. I use a Gillette Senzor which I think has two blades. And I shave slow and let the blade do the work, not speed or pressure.
