Hi folks
Am a DE convert for about the last eight months or so. Am enjoying experimenting with various bits of stuff, but recently I started to get really itchy & red, especially around the neck area after a few hours after shaving.
Was totally mystified, and after some painstaking trials, I narrowed it down to my NIVEA aftershave balm which was a regular workhorse for me and which I had used happily for several months, but I am presuming I built up an allergy to.
My set-up:
Pre-shave T&H
Shave T&h soap/ CF cream lavender
Unfortunately, I am struggling to find a balm which I can use. Don't want to make an expensive mistake again ( eg Crabtree & Evelyn Sienna -gorgeous smell but same problem). Ironically, I'm using a cheap one from Boots ( L'oreal) which doesn't itch
Anyone had a similar experience, any ideas for what to try?
Also, got several bottles of the Nivea stuff which I don't need anymore!
Whoops - sorry, I should have asked this in shaving help
