Hi gents,

I nearly gave up on wet shaving due to the constant irrtation. Today I discussed with my physician (who happens to have extra training in dermatology).
His conclusion is that I suffer from ingrown hairs.
Due to my skin sensitivity, he is not suggesting sallicic acid or other acne medications. Instead, he suggested to use OTC hydrocortisone mixed with my aftershave. Either that, or use one of the foil shavers that are well-known to avoid bumps, such as Wahl's.

Has anybody tried cortisone? How's been the result. I does thin the skin, so there are ways it can make things worse.
