I used to get razor burn too when I first started shaving. Especially in sensitive areas and areas where the hair is coarser (eg underarms, bikini area). I've found that my skin is less sensitive now that I've been shaving a while and I get less irritation.
Since the skin is adequately lubricated, the only things I would suggest is to make sure you're not pushing into the skin too much/shaving too closely and to shave slowly. If you do get irritation don't shave again until it goes away. Oh, and use unscented lotion!
If you still get bad irritation, you could try waxing. I wouldn't suggest depilatories as they can cause a lot of irritation if you have sensitive skin.
