Guest guest Posted July 30, 2002 Report Share Posted July 30, 2002 , Stuff you probably know already, but just in case - with shaving I find that I have to be really profligate with the razors (if wet shaving). This means I won't use any razor more than twice - and if the slightest cut, not again (this makes, for me, a good quality disposable razor the best option). A doctor also told me to be careful to shave only with the growth of the beard. Shaving upwards gets a closer shave, but really exposes the skin. Electric razors (even quite expensive ones) just don't really shave, and leave my face feeling really hot and burned. I would grow a beard, but any growth seems to aggravate seb derm condition! Quel Vie.... Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2002 Report Share Posted August 2, 2002 I didn't see the original message, however, I have had good experiences with the Mach III razors - and I don't have to change the blades right away either, I'm able to use em for at least two weeks. I also like Neutrogena Shave gel - its in a white can, sens. skin, its non-scented, dyed, etc... This months GQ mag has a thing about shaving, most of it isnt applicable to rosaceans (using HOT water to open pores, etc. as those would trigger) but some such as shaving " with the grain " etc.... Also, it suggested some products, one of which was clinique for men gel or balm - but its like sensitive skin stuff with no bad stuff and has tons of aloe gel - which is an anti inflammatory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
