Huge thanks to @Digimonkey for his generosity in sending me a box of DE products to try. I am all set to have a go at lathering with cream & a brush for the first time ever!
One more quick question - A week into giving up 5-blade carts and though I have noticed less ingrowers & bumps, the redness on my face has not cleared up as much as I thought it would have done by now. I've pretty much been shaving every other day for a week, starting with a fresh cart, and definitely feel less irritation but I really want the rash marks to go.
I'm almost embarrassed to admit this, but I might as well be honest. . . I've taken tweezers to my face at times to get ingrowers & awkward hairs out, and even stuff I missed whilst shaving instead of just taking another pass, and I'm now paying for said butchery with wounds that are in no hurry to heal. This will no doubt account for some, but not all, of the redness.
Any tips / products known to deal with rash well, please let me know. I've asked in a well known high street chemist twice and been recommended ASB and Moisturiser, both of which I use anyway, they seem to soothe it but not actually remove the rash. Help!
Lucky Tiger Vanishing Cream
calms a shaving rash for me, have to search the house for it though, daughter uses it for spots, son uses it for rashes, wife uses it too.
