hi brewwguy, I have heard from the guys that they try different shaving creams to see which one isn't as harsh on their skin. It may be your reaction to the different creams causing your rash.Sorry to dig up an oldish thread but I have a question for the guys that use a razor....
I use the clippers for everything but trimming the boys I set the clippers real close and have "caught" myself a couple times in the past. So I've been trying a razor for the last month or so. Definitely easier and faster with less chance of injury, but there is the razor rash. Seems there is no perfect solution here. I've used cream which has helped but I'm asking the guys who do shave, does the razor rash go away after your skin get used to it or is this a constant issue?
Also if you use a comb & scissors you will have better luck at not catching your skin.
Finding a cream after you shave may also help.
