If you have sensitive skin, use an unscented shaving product
We regularly speak to customers who suffer a lot from unpleasant and persistent shaving irritations. Usually, they have sensitive or dry skin and irritations after shaving. You should think of dry, chapped, tight skin or red, burning patches. As we have often said, you can reduce or prevent many irritations by shaving differently, switching to a safety razor, or using an unscented shaving product. Many skin irritations are caused by the added fragrance or perfume ingredients in shaving foam, shaving soap, and after shave balm. Well, we just love scents, and that's why manufacturers put fragrance ingredients in their care products. But if you suffer a lot from shaving irritations, our advice is: "The duller, the better."
Because it is always uncertain what exactly causes your shaving irritation, it is best to start with an unscented to neutral shaving product. If after a few weeks of use you notice that the irritations decrease or have completely disappeared, you can always use a similar shaving product with a fragrance in it.
Of course, it is always your own choice, but it doesn't help if you are smooth and smell nice after shaving but then walk around all day with skin irritations.
Which unscented shaving products should I choose?
We sell shaving products for every skin type. We also have a large range of neutral to unscented shaving soaps, after shave balms, and other care products for sensitive skin. On our website, there are various handy selection filters per product group:
