So, i bought a really cheap beard trimmer from walmart(i think its $12.99) and use rechargeable batteries and i dont get any razor burn whats so ever. It isnt as close as a razor shave but it is pretty darn close. Ill never shave with a razor again! Would like to try a straight blade once though.

The issue isn't going to be the lubricant that you are using but more likely the instrument. The more blades that your razor has the more irritation is likely. Sensitive skin can handle one sharp edge but 3, 4, etc? Not likely. The reason that many choose to move to the safety razor is that it is one sharp edge that you use, not multiple. I had this problem years ago and I made the switch. I don't get razor burn any longer, though the sacrifice is in the closeness of shave. For me it isn't an issue. Not having razor burn has been worth it.
Good that you have found something that works for you.
