I have been shaving dh for several years. He has always had kinda oily skin but now it’s very dry. I noticed that after I shave him lately his face starts to look like it’s breaking out, really red and gets little blister like spots. I’ve tried one for sensitive skin and it doesn’t make any difference. Any one have ideas or have had this problem?  Thank you in advance!

    Joyce I don't  know if you got the real cold air, if the heat comes on it can cause bad dry skin? That or real hot water. Just throwing that out there?

    Joydean, would it be worth it to try an electric razor? Just a thought.

    My DH has very sensitive skin. I shave him every other day. Here's what I use.

    Philips Norelco electric shaver Series 2000

    First apply Williams Lectric Green Tea preshave lotion

    Then use the razor

    Apply cremo cooling post shave balm
