Thread: worst shave ever thanks to the wrong pre shave

magicturtle,

Next time, just use some Bay Rum on your beard before shaving. It also helps set up the beard for a good shave, but is more soothing to the skin than electric razor pre-shave.

i have bay rum as an after shave, why does bay rum sooth ?

Who knows, but it works. It must be the spices in it, or the bay oil. I think the spices are what act as an astringent, but that is just a guess.

I use "Aquafor" for skin rashes or irritation like yours. Sometimes the problem is gone in only a few hours.

electric razors are blasphemous. -.-

As for the rash,I use this stuff called Cutemol,its great but expensive,but a jar will last a year,all you use is a little dab-ask your pharmacist,its prescribed for psoriasis,and it works on everything,as for a pre shave,try hair conditioner,works better than you would believe,especially the Paul Mitchel,that's how I found out,it said on the label that you can shave with it,and you can,and it works amazingly of corse YMMV-but in this case I doubt it.

The best product to use after your shaving for nicks, cuts, rashes, etc. is the Twinluxe Instant Rescue Gel.

I have it and the stuff works like a miracle. Stops bleeding instantly and works also on those rashes you have. Better than the styptic pens and alum blocks I have used in the past.
