I'm not sure which forum is the best to put this topic but I'm looking for advice on how to prevent razor burn now that summer is fast approaching. My legs, specifically my shin and calf area, are always itchy. It gets really bad in winter but its a year round problem. Moisturizing helps to a degree but during a particularly bad "flair" it doesn't do much to take away the pain or itch (these flairs happen even when I don't shave for a while). When I shave it gets so much worse- sometimes it starts becoming painfully itchy before I'm even out of the shower. So basically all winter I avoid shaving my legs as much as possible but I'd like to be able to wear shorts this summer without being in pain. I've started using GiGi no bump scrub before shaving and it helps a little bit. I've tried different shaving creams or using conditioner but not much difference there. I've tried different razors and have learned which ones to avoid- basically any cheap or disposable razor is out of the question. Dollar shave club razors were a big no. Venus and Gillete seem to cause the less irritation. So basically I'm looking for anyone who deals with this if you have found any success doing certain things or using a certain product- I'm open to trying anything at this point!
