Ive been using the gillette gel series for many years but the last year switched to edge but the razor bumps heavy redness never went away. I dont have a big selection at the supermarket. I recently tried a tube of nivea gel and all hell broke loose. constant reopening of the razor bumps. I look like a walking connect the dots. it itches like hell all day. I shave in the shower and leave the foam for a minute on before removing. I use aloe vera after shaving.I may go back to using antibacterial soap to shave since that helped for a while but never truly brought it down to a reasonable amount. at least till I can stop bleeding like crazy.

I am considering the single razor/dowl/soap/brush method but not until I find something to get this issue down to a minimum.

there's a guy on ebay(UK) who sells various items and i'd like to get an order going for some stuff and see what works for me. proraso/erasmic/vitos/wool fat/Col.conk/valobra.
can someone recommend 2-3 of the above to try?
Just dont like minty/musky smells. something like talc powder or very lightly scented is good.

any help appreciated.
cheers!
