What’s going on everyone? I just felt like sharing something that I find worth sharing.
I suffer pretty badly from eczema and I’ve been trying to deal with it for pretty much all my life. Ever since I started Dupilumab (it’s a biological injection that tells my body to create a missing enzyme), it’s been a lot quieter, except for… the face.
My dad taught me how to shave with a simple Gilette razor casette system, so that’s what I have been using since I was around 16. I am now 32, and I have been using Boldking’s razor system and that worked best for me. It was just a lot of work and kind of tedious. Plus it would give me a lot of inconsistent results. I would, however, deal with redness and spots in the face. I have also tried an electrical razor but that only seems to make the redness worse.
So last week I decided to give a safety razor a try, I ordered one and it arrived today. Had my shave just now and it just feels so much nicer.
I was still using foam from a can (also from Boldking since they don’t use parabens), but I’m looking to upgrade to a better foam, with a brush.
So bottom line: one shave in and I’m sold. I am excited to experience the journey!
Secnding this: you don’t know how good your face can feel until you have used a good shaving soap. My skin also tnds to be very dry to atopic, and it agrres very well with soaps containing lanolin or milk. Definitely worth trying!
Thanks for the detailed info! I’ll have a look into it.
