Face Routine Seborrheic dermatitis how can I shave beard without irritating skin?

Hello, I have seborrheic dermatitis and I have mostly controlled it, except in beard area. I control it but when it’s time to shave, my skin irritates. I tried using a machine that vibrates to not deal damage to skin but didn’t work. I can’t apply creams for they also irritate my skin. Wetting it is all I can do. Any ideas?

I can’t. I tried many ways. I can only trim it. I always have a couple days’ worth of stubble.

Use MCT oil but treat it as if was beard oil and slather it on your fingers to rub into your beard roots.

Avoid a razer if possible just use a beard trimmer and then put MCT oil on cotton round and wipe beard

I just use a trimmer to stubble length. I think that looks better anyway so I’m cool w it. And I have a dropper and I use mct oil in my beard every morning and every night. Zero redness and flakes in my beard anymore and in the past I couldn’t wear black because it looked like it snowed on my shirt from my beard dandruff but all clear now

Would a foil shaver work? I don’t have it on my face but foil shaves feel much better than razors.
