Brief Answer:
Causes to rash when shaving...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
The rash you get when shaving could be related to :
- allergic reaction : most probably due to the shaving cream/foam you use or the material of the shaving blades
- infection of the skin, especially if you do not apply good hygienic measures.
I'd suggest to:
- use the blades only once
- deep the blade into hot water before shaving
- first shave the chin and then, other parts of the body. I'd advise to use different blades for different parts.
- If using shaving machine (electric or other); I'd suggest to deep the blades inside hot water or keep it cleaned and disinfected well.
- rinse the shaved area with water thoroughly and dry it well using a soft towel
- please watch if the after shave lotion/cream you use could aggravate rash and change to hypoallergic one.
Hope it helped!
