DRY SKIN: Sounds like either you are allergic to the shaving cream/soap you are using or your skin is "drying out" from constant shaving. Try changing to a hypo-allergenic shaving Cream and/or using a moisturizer (eg: "Curel") Hope this helps Dr Z

Agree w Dr. Zimon: Wet skin well prior to shaving. Use plenty of lubricant to shave. Apply skin lotion after shaving. Dry skin can cause itchiness.
