Razors for sensitive skin/shaving rash

8 replies

WeeM · 17/01/2020 23:43

i get really bad shaving rash from using wet razors so usually use an electric one. But sometimes it’s not a close enough shave. Can anyone recommend a wet razor that doesn’t leave your legs and pits red and blotchy?! I have had success with the Wilkinson intuition-the one with the soap included. But I find that, because of the soap being included, it’s really hard to rinse the hair out.
Any recommendations appreciated.

I sometimes get itchy legs after shaving. Have recently switched to a grüüm razor and now you mention it, I realise they haven’t been itchy.

I’ve heard of them actually, will have another look. I think it’s the nickel I’m sensitive to although I’m not bothered by nickel in watches/belts etc.

Quattro Rasberry and use with a good quality hair conditioner. The razor then glides. Sometimes it’s not the blade, it’s the gel you are shaving with.

Oh I think I’ve read about the conditioner thing on here before but never tried it-will def give that a go.

The sort that are set in a block of solid shaving cream are great.

That’s the intuition ones I’ve been using but I find they are really hard to get the hairs out of the foils...have you got any tips?!

I just hold it under the shower head,don't have any issues,just rinse it off.

I like the FFS (friction free shaving) ones. They are excellent.
