« on: January 31, 2013, 04:32:41 PM »

Joe can you post a pic of your head ?  Maybe they are freckles that you have never noticed before.  But the irritation is caused by dull blades and to much pressure.  ;) O0  Let it go a day.   O0

I did put quite a bit more of pressure than I should have.

Well that is the biggest possibility of why you have irritation just ease up a bit and it should get better O0

What color were the dots, red or more brown and freckly?

Sounds like you either pressed too hard with a new blade or pressed too hard with a too old blade (both can be super irritating).

Your advice of nivea shave balm has worked well for me.  Dimenthicone lotion also has been working well - it's for diaper rash but I have ultra sensitive skin and only one episode of irritation so far so my superstitious side is telling me it helps.

I'd consider adding on the gentlest. fragrance free lotion you have available.  If you want to try dimethicone I recommend it but only because it seems to work okay for me, no official expertise to back me up.

It might be worth skipping a day shaving if you're still irritated tomorrow.  The horror, I know!

Aha. Yes! "the horror". Skipping a day is terrible but this time I have to do it.

Joe, skip a day so the irritation has time to heal, skip the second day too if needed.
Can it be the razor? I mean, maybe a new one is needed?

Basically, just what Switchy said. :)  O0


Have you changed something in your routine? like different shaving gel/balm/soap/etc...

Joe, in the future, try rubbing an ice cube after you shave to prevent the dots....Good Luck!

The ice is a great idea.  I've done it the last two times I've shaved my head. I told my wife it's one of those "hurts so good" kinda things.
