I usually do preparation for my shaving.
1. I do hot shower bath
2. Rinse face with warm water
3. Apply nonalcholoic sensitive skin lather cream
4. Perform the shaving with grain with fresh catridge 3 blade system
5. I have rough skin with wrinkles in chin and jaw area. also neck area. I will do multiple shaving passes on those areas

Brief Answer:
Wet shaving with Aqua touch shaver will be helpful.

Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir,

I understand your concern.

I have gone through your uploaded images as well.

You possibly seem to have mixed allergic and hypersensitive skin rash to any one of the shaving cream ingredients or frequent abrasions.

I advise you to reduce the frequency of the shaving(2 times a week).

Instead of 3 blade system,I recommend philips aqua touch close cut shaver.

Apply shaving cream while shaving and Axe after shave gel post shaving.

Apply antiseptic lotions like savlon for face wash and moisturizers.

All these steps will minimize such allergic episodes.

Post your further queries if any,

Thank you.

When I met dermatlogists about 6 months ago, she said that I have the dry skin.Use non alcholic version of shaving cream.

I'm using art of shaving lavender ingredients for past 1 year
