If you are talking about shaving your legs, then really bad razor burn isn't something that should be happening.
Make sure you are using a new razor - the sharper the razor, the cleaner the shave...and the less chance of razor burn. Invest in a shaving cream, and this helps protect your skin. Scraping a razor over bare skin is almost a guarantee that you will irritate it in some way.
Finally, make sure you aren't shaving every day. Your legs simply don't need to be shaved that often, and they also deserve a little break between episodes. If you currently have razor burn, wait until it goes away before you shave again. This might mean you get a bit stubbly, but it will help sort out the problem in the long run.
Finally, do not repeatedly go over the same area with the razor. This also ups the chances of irritation and/or razor burn. Go over each area only once - again, you might miss the occasional hair, but you'll get it next time. And in the meanwhile, you won't have to deal with red bumps and discomfort!
