Shaving gel for sensitive skin.

Skeptic · 16 Sep 2009 at 18:34

Hi guys,

I have to shave every morning for my job (don't we all??) but shaving this often leaves me with a bit of shaving rash. Not spots, just an irritation. Is there a gel which any of you have used with any success to prevent this from happening?

Inb4 'shave with an axe and acid you gay', and so forth.

Thank you

Using Gilette Fusion. I think using the cheap ones is a bit risky? (Risky in terms of rash, not their quality). Thanks though. And to you, Von.

Dont use gel,use a decent soap or cream preferable applied with a brush. Then shave using decent technique rather than scraping it all off in any random connection.

I think my method is fine; it's a perfectly fine shave, but I always feel that my skin is not taken care of during it, which then leads to the shaving rash. It's not a huge problem, but when dealing with new people daily, it's a bit annoying.

I will give the KoS stuff a go I think. I've heard nothing but rave reviews, so everybody can't be wrong. Off to the shops I go. Thanks you lot.

Hot water
Shaving foam
Shave, with grain, then against grain for tricky bits
