Shaving Rash? Ingrown Hairs?


Does anyone else suffer from this or do their OH's?

My poor old OH gets a terrible shaving rash on his neck everytime he wet shaves and ends up with tons of really painful ingrown hairs that take weeks to surface sometimes!!

Ive tried tea tree oil, extra sensitive moisturisers, even forked out a fortune on a Clinique shaving set for men ... and still no real luck.

Has anyone got any hints or tips or know of any good creams?

Would be much appreciated as i have a 32 year old man whingeing like a 5 year old that his neck is sore

Does he get this all the time? Or is it a recent development? I remember it happening to my brother once (kept happening for like a month). He finally had to go to the doctor, they gave him a prescription and it cleared it right up.

He said his neck has always been irritable, he never gets the rash or ingrown hairs anywhere else except his neck.

Means i get to have lots of fun with the tweezers, but i never hear the end of it!!

Just speaking to OH and he said it is very painful
He said try king of shaves shaving cream and try using a mac 3 razor plus king of shaves after balm
He had this problem and since using these he has had no problems and I've had no fun with the tweezers

My OH gets this too.

I would recommend the Liz Earle range for men. She has stores in London and you can order on line too.

This is the only thing that helps him out.

My OH gets this too as he went bald early, and shaves the rest of his head now, so he gets it on the back of his head.

He's using clippers more now which seem to have helped, but apart from that he just has to use loads of moisturiser.
