Thread: Razor burn help needed

This is a long shot since it sounds like a classic case of straight up razor burn. And if that is the case, the advice already given is my only contribution. But the long shot is that perhaps the soaps/creams you are using contain something that is irritating your skin or aggravating an allergy. I find that many of the highly scented creams (Truefitt and Hill, Taylor, AOS) to leave my face on fire after a shave. Its more of a chemical burn than a razor burn. Its not likely to be your problem but it may be worth considering if what you are using is all or mostly the same. And its possible that its a pre or post shave item as well.

I kind of thought of that and have used Taylor of Old Bond Street (scented and for sensitive skin), SRD soap, and Proraso for sensitive skin with aloe and vitamin e.

I'm just kind of lost in a funk right now and I do appreciate all of the advice; looking for new options to try because I've ran out of ideas.
