Shaving bumps

Maybe try some sensitive shaving oil under the shaving cream.It will help protect the problem area.
 
I've never heard of using baking soda before.Interesting.

Jack, try it once, make a gommage, a scrub. Wash your face with warm water, wet your fingers, put them in soda and with that amount massage your face gently, for at least 1 minute. The sensation when you rinse the face will be the best answer. And after one month and few times using the b.soda as a solution above or peeling as a powder, you ll see the results. It s such an amazing product, as simple and underrated as it is!
 
it is not myth, it is what I experienced since years. it is not a miracle, but it helps, this topic is about easy solution to clean and maintain our skin healthy, nothing more. It s about some logic chemistry and reactions, about base and acid, and the balance. etc. Read about, no myths at all. Regarding your link, my advice was just to keep your hair clean and your scalp healthy with a natural and cheap solution. If you want to buy aminexil to clean out the limescale from your hair root and you think that the vinegar cannot disolve it, you re free to buy what you like. That doesn t mean a natural idea, used since decades by others, is a bullshit.

my skin is the living proof. I don t need to publish somewhere and I appreciate your humor. Have a nice evening and try to find in every bullshit here, something that might help you someday. It s more useful than putting unsalted words here...
 
Thankyou for sharing with us.It's definitely a new one to me.
 
You coul You could also use several hot flannels before adding the shaving oil & cream.I used to do this all the time & got amazing shaves with no irritation.I might possibly start it again because the results are worth it.The hot flannel & oil really soften up the bristles & they should come off very easily,almost effortless.
 
I'll try the hot flannel and oil. I have always got shaving bumps on my neck no matter how gentle and careful I am. Things are better if i leave it a few days before shaving again. I heard asprin mixed in water clears them fast?

Never heard about aspirin with water.Yeah pal,just take it very slowly & be sure to be thorough pre shave.

It's well worth it if you have the time.Plenty of warm water before applying the oil & be sure to massage this in before applying the cream/soap/gel or what have you.
 
I also heard that if you have a bad outbreak to give your skin a few days rest and use an electric to keep hair under control in the meantime. I don't like electrics at all but have a philashave just to give a quick once over with when resting my skin. Been doing this for years even with cartridges.

Can you recommend a decent pre- shave oil? I bought some proraso pre-shave cream in Italy last week and it's ok but not as slick as oil.
 
There are several shaving oils to try.Trial & error really but go for the ones (don't mean to state the obvious)that are suited to sensitive skin.
I'm thinking that you might be better with trying a cold water only shave because it can give less irritation.It's up to you, but try to go through each potential shaving irritation separately. The idea is to identify the issue.So my suggestion would be wait for couple of days+ iff possible then exfoliate with a very mild kind facial scrub then apply the shaving oil thoroughly before applying the cream or gel.Take it slowly,minium pressure & just do the two passes.In time,very soon,you will find out the problem.Don't worry though because it can be amended. In this situation the post shave is very important (it is anyway for everyone) Be careful not to irritate the skin once its shaved.Again,trail & error.Jack

OP, if you like the shavette get a straight, a cheap Gold Dollar from ebay would do the job just as well as anything else. Or find a decent vintage straight. They're much more forgiving than a shavette. A mild DE is alos a good idea. My neck has always had red bumps/rashes and its clearing up with a straight. Good luck
