I've been following the discussion on finding a DE razor that minimizes skin irritation and I'm curious to delve deeper into the underlying causes. While I'm still on the hunt for the ideal razor and have taken note of the suggestions, I'm wondering if there are other factors I might be overlooking. Specifically, I'm interested in the impact of pre-shave preparation, shaving technique, and post-shave care. Could it be that the source of my irritation is not solely the razor itself, but a combination of factors including the method and products I'm using? Additionally, I'm concerned about any potential allergic reactions to ingredients in shaving soaps or creams. If others have experience with identifying and mitigating such allergies, I would appreciate advice on how to determine if a product is causing irritation. Does anyone have a regimen or a particular approach to shaving that's known to reduce sensitivity issues? Any insights into the science of shaving and skin care in this context would be highly beneficial.

Absolutely, technique and products are huge! What's your current pre-shave ritual?

Hey there! I've had similar frustrations. I found that using a high-quality pre-shave oil and paying attention to the angle of the razor during shaving made a big difference. Also, experimenting with different shaving creams helped. Have you tried a pre-shave oil or considered adjusting your shaving angle?

Consider trying a different pre-shave routine and hypoallergenic products.
