I get what looks like acne/irritated skin over where I shave, don't really get acne elsewhere.
I used to use gillette fusion 5blade razor w/ gillette fusion proglide gel for sensitive skin, but after reading the acne.org guide to shaving I went out and picked up a gillette sensor excel and the clean & clear essential foaming facial clenser. Tried out the new stuff today after taking a hot shower and my skin feels more irritated and dry than it ever has. Any advice on products that wont leave me feeling and looking like I just scrubbed my face with sandpaper?
The fusion blades are the best you can get. Although for the shaving cream I find Edge shave gel to be ten times better than gillette. Make sure when you're done to rinse off the shave gel/cream completely (until your face is no longer slick), otherwise it can cause acne.
This is coming from a guy with a dark irish/italian beard that dulls most razors in a few days lol.
