Shaving rash

Shaving rash?

My a friend told me that his skin was itchy and very red a couple of hours after he shaved. My first thought was that he had an allergy to the certified organic after-shave balm I pushed him to use – damn! But no, he said he gets it after shaving with an electric razor – which he does about once a month.

He thinks it’s the way the hair gets pulled from the skin. I asked him what he did to calm his skin down. Of course – nothing. But after couple of hours it was gone.

If you have this kind of red, itchy reaction, press a cool towel onto your face a few times. It will calm the skin. Watch related video ‘Allergic reaction red, itchy, swollen skin’

Check ingredients in the product you use after shaving as it may irritate your skin.

AND boys, clean your razors
