I heard great things of Nivea Body Daily Lotion, just put it on after you finish shaving.

Interesting. I have shaved sections of my calves with just water and a razor, but never my entire leg.

I don’t know if I could go without any lotions at all, but I would definitely skip most of the lotions you can get at a department store. They might do more harm than good.

I shave without any cream or lotions. Works better for me. Also, don’t apply any lotion for a day after shaving, that seems to make the irritation worse.

Good question. I guess the city water could be at least partially to blame, especially when applied to freshly shaved sensitive skin. But I can’t say for sure.

Perhaps you should talk to a dermatologist. They might know something we don’t!

Everytime I shave I get these bumps even on unsensitive areas. I’ve tried new razors, single to 5 blade,and evry cream there is. If I use a lotion or wax removal my skin breaks out awful. Because or the burning feeling I end up taking it off b4 the alloted time and the hair is still there along with nasty irritation. I know I have sensitive skin but since I moved to the city there is a lot of bleach in the water. Could that be it?
