Guys, any of you have extremely sensitive skin when shaving?

[WRAPT C5Z06]

I do and I hate it. I can shave twice a week, max! I get ingrown hairs too. I have to shave across the grain or it won't look like I shaved. Any products that have really helped you?

It's weird to see this post here. But I can't shave more than twice a week. Are you thinking chemical related to detailing?

I have similar issues but haven't really found much that helps other than Aveno shaving cream and aftershave lotion. I believe razor selection plays a big role as well.

Oh 15 years ago I went to a dermatologist and he told me to go to a barber!! Yeah I can do that every day! Not

That's exactly what I use.

Dove men care hydrate products have been the best I've used so far. I have thick stubble and shave daily. I use a wash cloth to help soak my face with warm water first and then use it to spread the shaving gel. Let the foam sit on ur face for about 3-5 min before starting to shave. Don't use any badger hair brush. They smell like wet dirty dogs.

I do and I have to shave every 2 days. I'm only 23 and don't really like having a beard or mustache. I've also found that shaving while taking a hot steam shower is alot easier. Because it opens your pores better. For some reason I avoid using shaving cream, because part of me thinks it has something that make your hair grow back faster. Lol

I use a double edge safety razor. Always had really bad razor burn before it. It does take quite a few shaves to get it down and not cut yourself (those bad boys are sharp). It works a lot like detailing, using the least aggressive method, as there are different blades of different sharpness. A big plus is making sure it's AFTER you shower to hydrate your facial hair. And remember, with shaving of any type, you should focus on beard reduction, not removal, multiple passes may be needed.

Oh, and I use pure badger as a brush. As long as you clean it and dry it properly it smells just fine. Maybe the cream the other guy was using was not proper or not dried to prevent smells.

Funny how many references to detailing can be made about shaving.

My right side of my neck is sensitive but referring to the thread comparing the Dollar Shave Club to a competitor i learned that ensuring your skin is warm (hot towel) followed by a warm razor, and a sensitive skin gel/foam and a non-alcohol after shave will stop the irritation. So far 3 weeks of shaving about once a week (because i'm a bum) and no razor burn or cuts what-so-ever.

+1 on this

If you want to help yourself get a badger hair brush and a real shave soap or cream - do not use that canned goo!

Here is something perfect to help you start with and it smells great too!
