Every time I shave (few times a week) I get really bad razor burn on my upper lip area. I've tried different razors, different shave creams, and different aftershaves and nothing seems to help. Any advice from the denizens of the SECrOT? TIA

Really cold water immediately after, then Nivea aftershave balm. Works for me. But I get it only on my neck.

If it's bothering you that much, buy an electric.

Electric razors or the power blades help also a sensitive shaving cream. In my case the more you shave the better it gets, I used to get razor burn when I was younger.

Yes. Didn't help much.

And no to Norelco. Don't think I've tried one.

iStubble, check it out, or check out the African American section of the drug stores, look at the "bump stop" area of products

Time for a mustache until you get past puberty. JMO.


What I would go with:

The Super Mario

Yeah, but it usually stops itching a couple days after those few days.
