Dermatologists would disagree.

The canned gel is full of artificial additives and added moisturisers because the pressuirsation dries the gel out. Using 3-5 blades on your skin is pretty harsh too. What Gillette fail to tell peopel is that each blade doesn't cut the hair, the first blade pulls the hair the second cuts and so on.

Also 75% of people who say they have sensitive skin actually don't, they just need to look after their skin better. I thought I had sensitive skin,turns out i don't. i used a Mach 3 and gel for years with irritation and and cuts. NOw I use $2 shaving soap and a BIC disposable and i've never had a better shave.

Its down to the person though. Each person is different but the amount of products on the market now to combat shaving rash and razor bumps is crazy, it shows there a deficiancy somewhere and i reckon that its with the companies themselves. They market crap products to a generation that really don't know any better.
