You may be shaving too close, try different brand of blade.

Happens to me too. Before recent interviews I shaved the night before and put moisturiser on the bits which felt a bit too raw to pre-empt the rash. So moisturiser is yer only man!

Of course, you can't beat a good beard.

perhaps see a dermatologist or seek advice from your chemist. What kinda shaving foam/balm are you using, something like the elave range works well. It doesn't have chemical crap in it.

Have a look at www.bumppatrol.com. Bump patrol hard to get here (it's from the USA) but an equally good product called 'No Bump' can be got.(http://www.dermadoctor.com/product.asp?productid=712&AID=30&WID={9FFA8DB8-B71F-4F15-BDD9-0661304859A7}).

Bit hard to find outside Dublin, but you can get it in Drury Street Hair & Beauty Supply, Drury St, Dublin 2. About €10 for a 100ml bottle, lasts for ages.

Theres a product called Tend that I saw in Knights barbershop in Stephens Green when I was there. It's for "all kinds" of shaving rash. I'll leave it at that.

Clarins for Men Skin Difference applied nightly makes a massive difference. It also slows down beard growth but certainly allows me to go longer between shaves before my face becomes too itchy.

A good moisturiser (L'oreal) applied after the shave will also help matter.s
