Thread: Irritation when shaving 2 days in a row

I believe I may be getting to the bottom of my irritation problem. The main times I've been shaving more than every other day is when I've been working in a cement mill because I try to wear a respirator as much as possible. The cement dust gets in my pores and, well if any of you have worked around tons of raw cement you know it gets in every pore in your body and doesn't wash out. That is the only thing that hasn't changed each time I get irritation. Now that maintenance is over for a few weeks and I can shave everyday. Although I'm still nursing some chem burns on my arm and back. Man I hate that place... The vinegar baths suck everyday.

Glad you found the source of your skin irritation and are getting it under control. Cement dust is nasty stuff and if you inhale enough of it over time there is a possibility of getting silicosis http://www.constructionsafety.ca/too...nts/Cement.pdf .
