Shaving my legs grrrr!

[AP]

Recently of late I am really suffering when I shave my legs, they are always flipping itchy especially the next day and I have no idea where I am going wrong now. They are becoming a right state and so uncomfortable

Help people!!

You using a new razor? If it's blunt then you'll get razor burn x

I've used Johnsons baby oil wash before now when my legs started feeling dry from shaving....makes legs really oily and definitely keeps the moisture in!

Ok emzky90 especially for you I have put the mod hat on and I have moved my own thread to General

Good quality SENSITIVE shaving foam, a sharp razor and a plain unscented moistuiser (I use diprobase!!) afterwards

That works for me! Xx

Try using hair conditioner instead of shaving foam. I saw it on tv and thought it was a load of rubbish but it really does make a difference. I buy one of the huge cheap bottles and use it just for shaving. And obviously a good quality razor too.

i use conditoner then shave mine, then exfoliate then moisturise

Hair conditioner is really good - I use it too

Also, I find that applying aloe vera lotion straight after shaving helps too.

I use this razor, https://www.boots.com/en/Gillette-Venus-Spa-Breeze-Razor_1042807/

I dont know if its the shave bars on it but my legs have been so much better since. I used to get so itchy and id get a really bad rash from disposable razors, id literally cover my legs in sudocrem, mosturiser, anything i could find in the bathroom that would help with itching so id recommend this and morrisons have it on offer as well

My legs were always irritated after I shaved, but that always happend. Then I started to use hair conditioner. 1st time my OH saw me do it he thought I was mad, he said "you do realise that's shampoo" and I said 2"no conditioner" and he just stared at me really confused! But it does work! You should give it a try x

Oooh gonna try that, been wearing trousers all summer because the itchyness is too much to shave

Try moisturising them hun or using a moisturised gel.

Mine were bad until I started using this shaving gel from Avon. I can't remember what it's called though. It has something called meadowfoam in it and I think it's for sensitive skin

I used to have that problem but then I started putting Palmers Cocoa Butter Formula on my legs after shaving and now they don't itch anymore. I don't even have to bother using shaving gel/foam anymore, just shave under the running water and put the cocoa butter on afterwards.

This used to happen me but i now shave them in the bath, mostly under water, and use plenty of shower gel and it hasnt happened since.x

 

[staycutee]

Do you have dry skin? maybe try using a really intensive moisturiser afterwards, the superdrug vitamin e one is soo good and cheap

 

[PixieM]
