I have now had 2 episodes of severe razor burn in the past 2 weeks. So bad that I could not shave for about 5 days. The first time it happened, I had put some lotion on right after shaving (I never do that but did not want "ashy" legs that day). So, I thought it was the lotion. I had large, red, stinging welts all over both legs for 4 days. It hurts to have my softest PJs touch them.
I tossed the razor that I had used, shaved once in between (after at least 5 days), did not apply lotion that day, and had no problems. Then, I shaved again this morning (again, no lotion). Oh, boy. It looks and feels awful.
I have not really changed anything....I usually use body wash, not a shave lotion, but that is not new. I use relatively cheap razors, but this is number 7 and 8 out of a pack of 10, and I did not have the problem before.
This is not a problem I have been prone to before. What gives?
Any ideas or suggestions are appreciated. Otherwise, we can just move it over to the BP cause I am in misery!
