When i shave my legs i get itchy afterwards. why is that?

Several options: You may just be irritating your legs or you may have developed allergic contact dermatitis to your shaving cream. Make sure you don't irritate you skin, use a hypoallergenic soap suchas dove or vanicream bar or emollient for shaving.
