Try this site: www.theartofshaving.com It's expensive, but mighty fine shaving cream. My face is sensitive but this stuff has made it feel a lot better. About $35 per can, but that's lasted me 2 or 3 months so far. Use a brush when applying b/c it saves it as a little can go a long way. 100?

Senior Member thanatopsis_awry Posted April 2, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted April 2, 2008 I have very sensitive skin, as well; and for the longest time, I struggled with post-shave irritation. American Crew makes a shaving cream that you apply pre-shave, and it has truly been a panacea. As for after shaves, the best I've found have been Nivea for Men Sensitive Extra Soothing Balm, which I used during adolescence; and, recently, I've been using Aveda's Men After-Shave Balm, which has been a perfect find for me. I've heard great stuff about Dewayne's ArtOfShaving, too -- and they have some badass items on their website....damn, that engraved chrome gillette fusion razor for $250 looks tasty. ----------- *A Follicles Dying Wish To Clinics* 1 top-down, 1 portrait, 1 side-shot, 1 hairline....4 photos. No flash. Follicles have asked for centuries, in ten languages, as many times so as to confuse a mathematician. Enough is enough! Give me documentation or give me death!

Bill - Seemiller Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 You could always try some Aloe Vera gel ...(personal joke btw Bill and myself, ignore) ROTFL Spex Konstelin, I am no expert at preventing ingrown hairs when shaving however, you might want to try to a product called Tendskin. Dr. True recommended this to me after my second hair transplant to help with pimples/ingrown hairs on my head. I feel that the product helped somewhat.

Senior Member repo-man Posted April 2, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted April 2, 2008 I used to have the same issue, without the redness factor. What worked for me personally was to shave in the shower. When you take a hot shower, all your pores open up and its the best time to shave. Once you are all done, use cold water to close the pores and it can help prevent the pimples. As for products, I just use the Clinique (For Men) shaving gel...the razor just glides on the surface.
