Electric Shaver Rash
Q: I tried moisturising last night and not much has happened, I tried holding a hot cloth to the spots and they haven't reduced in swelling - I'm not sure what to do, I'll do anything as I really need this gone quickly.
A: After shave.Cool water.
This is probably obvious but i usually get a rash with ordinary razors, would electric ones be better?
. It won’t be of any use to you.” said my father when he heard on the phone of my idea to start shaving with a double edged razor, just like my grandfather and great grandfather used to do. Well, I wasn’t convinced so. If something as complicated as a Braun electric shaver or a five-blade Gillette razor gives me rashes, no matter what I try and do, then something as simple as a retro shaver just like the one on the picture shouldn’t.
Needless to say I was right. And was I stunned by the ease, comfort and smoothness of shaving that this piece of rejected old technology gave me. After years of rashes, expensive, well-marketed products for sensitive skin that refused to have any real calming effect on me, electrical appliances said to provide the most amazing shave nature could possibly think of… a traditional double edged razor proved to be best. Now this got me thinking: for decades we, shaving product consumers, have been lied to. We have been told that more complex and expensive appliances work much better and have a greater effect. Oh, and worse, that traditional tools don’t work at all. Personally, I’ve heard that shaving with a double edged is an experience from hell with loads of cuts, blood and razor burns.
...TONAWANDA, N,Y. — For the past three decades, Jeani Thomson has been pleading with New York state officials to protect her and her neighbors from air pollution that regularly spreads into her yard from an industrial plant a mile away. Many mornings, a foul-smelling, thick fog settles around her modest house in Tonawanda, a working class town of 16,000 just outside Buffalo. The “toxic blue haze,” as Thomson calls it, smells like ammonia, sulfur and “an oily exhaust.”
She believes it has made her sick. Ailments have transformed her, she said, from a fit mail carrier who walked a 13-mile route into a survivor of multiple illnesses who takes 22 medications and now moves with difficulty on stiff legs. Though only 57 years old, she has only one lung, and half a stomach. Her doctors have diagnosed her with a rare skin rash, as well as asthma and arthritis. Though she claims never to have had a cigarette, her voice has the raspy sound of a smoker. On bad days, she says, she inhales oxygen.
The rest of the face comes out good. It's just the neck I get the razor rash whether I use the pre electric shave stuff or shave dry
