Thread: Irritation

If not the brush, you could be allergic to the oils. Some companies use fragrance oils, which are stronger scented, same the perfume industry uses. Some people are just sensitive to the strength. If you could find something with "essential oils", these are usually less pungent and easier on the skin. TOBS uses fragrance oils, some of their stuff I am sensitive to. You could try the classic brand soaps from classicshaving, some from SRD, or razo rock, or proraso, oh and speick (that stuff rocks, and is formulated for sensitive skin); those have yet to irritate my skin, and you will notice that the scents are pretty subtle compared to TOBS, castleforbes, and some others.
