How to not give a girl stubble rash when making out?

Ok, so I've started seeing a girl and the other night we made out for quite a while but after she complained (politely) about me giving her stubble rash.
Needless to say, I felt guilty and apologised. I had shaved the night before as I had to be up early for work and tonight I'm seeing her again after work so I plan on shaving about three times in a row this morning.
I usually use blades, but also have an electric shaver. If this doesn't work the only thing I can think of is growing the hair out a bit and keeping it trim so it hopefully softens up.
Anyone got any tips/experience when it comes to this?

shave then
EDIT - This is good for today, but it might not always be possible to shave a couple of hours before making out.
Minefield.
I'm currently using a Gillete Fusion...to be honest I'm fairly new to blades, up until a couple of months ago I always used electric.
I don't think it's the worst out there, but I'm sure there's better...
I'm sure that's fine. I was just making sure you weren't using some single blade disposable or something.
Best advice, just shave as close to the date as you can. With a razor. Electrics are garbage.
I've just shaved twice, going over my 'moustache/goatee' area a third time and I'll try and sneak another in on my break.
I'll report back tomorrow!
Seemed to work pretty good.
Ok, good advice, that is probably my problem stroking downwards is smooth, back up is usually another story.
EDIT - Just shaved against the grain and while I did get a couple of extremely small cuts the difference is immense.
Roll on tonight so I can take my new face for a test drive.
Beards are all well and good, but the trimming that a mustache requires makes the hairs as sharp as little damn razors.
So glad my husband shaved his face last week. Now it's pleasant to kiss him and I don't get stabbed! :P
Something else to do would be to shave right after a shower or use lots of hot water to get your pores open.
Hell when i shave, i shave:
1.Downwards
2.Diagionaly, from left to right
3.Sideways, from left to right.
4.Upwards.
And thats the only way i can get a proper close shave. Hopefully you don't need to do so much work. And always try to shave after having a shower. It opens the pores and makes your shave easier.

It works miracles.
And it smells good
And I use an alcohol-free after shave, because alcohol dries the skin.
Could always grow a beard but not a mustache.
That's what I have, and I like it, as does my girlfriend.
I recommend this to everyone.
You could also try keeping about a 3-4 day stubble. Just make sure you're fastidious in keeping it trim.
Oh man - saftey razors are the best. Cleanest shaves I've ever gotten are with them. I first started using them in Germany, got a nice boar bristle brush too - it was great. They're kind of hard to find here in the U.S. though - I see razors for them often enough but never the actual tool. I had to order my last one off of amazon.
Lots of hot water is the best thing for me, it works wonders and I can get a ridiculously closer shave without making my skin hate me the rest of the day.
In general I shave only once or twice a week, only shaving the mornings that I know I'll be seeing the girlfriend. In general the face itself only needs one pass, against the grain, but on my neck I'll usually have to make a second pass (after second shaving cream application) simply because of the angle the hair grows at.
I do have a little bottle of the Nivea after-shave lotion, but I don't always use it.
Also, I had an electric shaver which I got as a Christmas gift, and I used it for about 6 months, but as the blades dulled I had to use it for longer periods of time for it catch everything and that really irritated my face. So I want back to the Mach 3 and I think I'll stick with it.

There's really no learning curve other than learning that you let the weight of the razor do all the work rather than forcefully dragging it across the skin as you would with modern disposables like the Mach3 and etc. Also using short repetitious strokes rather than big long ones. But other than that you should be shaving like a pro within a week with one, just to get yourself out of the bad habits ingrained by modern razors.
It does make trimming tricky without a mirror but I've gotten good at shaving by feel.
If you have a truly fast growing bristly beard (like mine) your only option is to shave right before. In a few hours your face will go from smooth to sandpaper.
Additionally, if you are shaving with great frequency, you'll save a ton of money in the long run with safety razors versus cartridge refills. A box of 100 blades will only cost you $10-15 compared to a couple dollars per refill that cartridges cost.
Yes a thousand times yes, my girlfriend got me using one of these and found some great how to videos on youtube (the internet is full of things.) The first couple of times I used it I cut myself pretty awesomely but once I figured out what I was doing I started getting the closest bestest shaves I've ever had, almost beating out the one time I have a straight razor shave.
Also, the blades will last you forever, I use one blade for about 6-8 months.
The next time I run out I'm going to pick up this assortment and see if I like any of them better than what I'm using now.
Trust me once you start using it you'll never go back.
Kiss more gently?
If, while making out, you are mindful of the fact that a man's face can hurt a woman when raked against it hard, I'm sure everything will be fine. There's no rule saying that men with stubble cannot kiss. Unless the woman is a total baby.
What? o_O
What? One of the blades that I use stays sharp enough to shave my face comfortable for months on end. Granted I only shave twice a week but it's not like the go instantly dull after their first use.
