Dh had hideous shaving rash and eventually tried some of the products I was using to treat my acne - and they worked! I get them sent over from the US by these guys (dh uses the bacteriostat cleanser, then the green tea stuff and moisturiser), but the active ingredient is just salicylic acid, so anything that contains that and is formulated for really sensitive skin might work.

Another thing he tried that worked for a bit was a product called ingrow go (I think), but it contains alcohol so it dried his skin out too much, which made it sore again.

I found tendskin expensive but great, here www.mankind.co.uk/tendskin.asp?utm_source=Google&utm_medium=PPC&utm_term=tend%2Bskin&utm_content=ten d%2Bskin%2Bbrand%2Bgroup&utm_campaign=Master
IB is right, the active is salicylic acid aka asprin. I haven't tried this one myself but others have sworn by it and says it's a brilliant cheat for tendskin. Get some glycerin and rosewater and drop in a couple of ordinary asprins. Worth a go I reckon

King Of Shaves? Sounds unlikely that would work but worth trying.
