Shaving legs help?!?!?!

Shaving legs help?!?!?!

I have always had really sensitive skin, but lately it's so painful to shave my legs that I don't even want to anymore. After I shave (with new razors and shaving cream) I get red bumps that BURN and sometimes bleed. I have light irish skin and my legs look disgusting! For a few days after it looks like I have a terrible rash. It isn't on the back of my legs at all, and not really even on the sides. It's just the top.

Does anyone have any miracle product that can help me? I've tried the venus razors, the intuition and every cream and lotion that I can think of.


Someone please help!
I'm going to have to wear pants all summer long so no one sees my legs!

do you put pants on right away? do you shave in the morning?

I would let the hair grow a few days. Also, try just conditioner...no lotion. I am in the same boat and cannot use any shaving gels or cremes because I get a rash. Also, try your DH' shaving creme it is less harsh.

I have the same skin as you. I shave every few days, 3 or 4 at least and I use Skintimate shave gel and a bic disposable razor.

Also, I shave after I've washed my skin, I think that helps.

are you sure you are not having an allergy to something? i had something like that a few years ago and the doctor said it was a histamine rush, prescribed allegra.

I was thinking the same thing. It's worth a visit to the dermatologist.
