Why do my legs itch after shaving?

Shaving my legs they really itch ?

  • I shaved my legsfor the 1st time they really itch, I keep them moisturized. But they really itch do use a certain method when you shave so they wont itch or eventually i will get use to it and they wont itch?

  • Answer:

    if you shave with a blunt razor it gives you a rash. also if you dont use shaving cream instead of using shaving cream i use hair conditioner because it doesnt take your skin off also make sure you moisturise your legs after shaving (y)

Same thing happens to me, i get used to it tho.

You probably have sensitive skin and shaving dried out your skin. What did you use to shave with? I find that soap or shaving cream dried out my skin. But if I shave with a thick layer of body wash or conditioner it works really well and doesn't dry them out. But I get the best shave and moisturized skin with men's shaving gel. Like the Gillette EDGE or just the kind that says Gillette Series.

When I first started shaving it never itched.... maybe you have sensitive skin?

Your legs must be very sensitive, maybe try use another product to shave with depending on what you use now. I have the same problem, they itch like crazy after a couple of days i think its the hairs growing back. And it also could be a possibility that your moisturizer is irritating your legs. Why don't you try baby powder, that's what i do.

mine never iched and my skin is really really sensitive.... go see that skin doctor dude man guy lol

You probably pushed to hard on the razor, a lot of skin gets taken off when you shave and that can itch like crazy, it could also be a reaction to the shaving cream or even the moisturizer. Wait a while to shave again so the skin can grow back and don't push as hard, you don't need any pressure. Also buy a good quality razor if you haven't already

well.. since u shaved, they will itch.. its normal... but try to use a good razor.. don't buy the cheap ones... the other ones will not give u the same result... try gillete fusion or something close to that... try using some aftershave for men... don't wear it outside your house, but it always helps me:p

okay. next time you shave, put cetaphil first to help soften the hair. then shave upwards, stretching your skin so the razor will get as much hair as it can. then after shaving, clean with cold water and pat dry. put on moisturizer as often as needed. and don't scratch when it itches, i had that phase too.

Find an Hypo Allergenic shaving cream and use Venus Breeze something with a moisturizing cream surrounding the blades. I have this issue.
