How old are the clippers? They could need maintenance or replaced if you're already buzzing against the grain. Make sure to clean and oil the blades after each use. It can help if you put a hot towel around your head for a bit, too; opens everything up, makes it easier to cut (feels good, too).
Razor bumps are created by the hair growing back into the skin, breaking it, and all the related inflammation/infection. Electric razors, particularly the Norelco, work on the premise of lifting the hair above the skin, cutting it, and letting the hair drop below the skin after the tension is released. For a man with even slightly curly hair, this is a recipe for DISASTER. The tighter the curl pattern the worse the results. The Norelco must go!
What he needs/wants is something that cuts close enough to give him a clean look, but leaves the hair at/above skin level so that the curl pattern doesn't dig back into the skin. He needs trimmers. Pick him up some professional quality trimmers like these or these. Make sure to also pick up spray lubricating disinfectant (not plain alcohol!), clipper oil, and store them in a large zip lock freezer bag (humidity protection). They will last literally forever as long as not dropped.
He will need to make trimming part of his daily routine. He may still get "razor" bumps in areas where his hair is particularly curly or if his hair grows fast even with the trimmers. So staying on top of it is a must. Also, running a CLEAN straight edge, like a credit card, against the grain of those hairs through the day may help them not dig into his skin. Most likely though, running a trimmer over his face once/twice a day should keep him clean "shaven" without the bumps.
ok, here you go:
Now keep in mind that I plan on doing 95% of the grooming for the rest of my pups life. Since he's a standard poodle, a full groom would cost me anywhere from $75 to $120 (every 4 to 6 weeks) due to his size. So, for me, investing in all of the above will save me a lot of money in the long run.
*Edit - If you go this route and get your own clippers - make sure you get some blade cleaner/oil, I use this
You need a coolant in this case. A popular one is Andis Cool care, but every brand has such a spray: https://www.amazon.com/Andis-12750-Cool-Care-Plus/dp/B000LNB8HK/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1484197792&sr=8-1&keywords=andis+coolant
Pet clippers get hotter because pet fur, after all, is harder to go through unlike our locks. It also depends on the clipper model you have, clippers like Oster's A5 heat like darn hell.

I recently bought this one and it does a great job. Its pretty quiet but the blade gets hot pretty fast so I got a cooling spray from Andis for it and it works well.

For less messy amazon links you can extract the part after "/dp/" in
