Is Having Sensitive Skin for Shaving a Myth?

No! Before we start with any explanation, it is important we get that out there. Sensitive skin really does exist and is a common skin issue many dermatologists are aware of and mostly treat. The same can be applied to shaving or the use of shaving products. There are quite a number of reasons to have sensitive skin. Most people tend to push the blame to the razor (although this could be a possibility) but really it is because the person has sensitive skin.

Sensitive skin can be as a result of an allergy or an irritant dermatitis. Just like any allergy, skin allergies that can make the skin sensitive are usually caused by shaving products. The most common cause of having sensitive skin is from bad shaving habits. Most men refuse to admit that they do not know how to shave properly. Shaving is much more than placing a sharp razor on your skin and cutting off all the stubble in its path. Even advanced safetyrazors like the Vikings Blade still need to be used properly to achieve better results. The last cause of having a sensitive skin is more towards genetics. A skin disease like eczema can sometimes be inherited and this predisposes your skin to being sensible. Use safety razor products with mild to moderate aggressive and consult your dermatologist as soon as possible if you are having adverse skin reactions.
