The Art of Preventing and Soothing After-Shave Itch

We all know that feeling - you've just shaved your legs, underarms, or face and instead of smooth, silky skin, you're left with an irritating, itchy rash. Razor burn is a common problem that affects many people, but the good news is that it's preventable and treatable.

At Bronte Body, we believe that shaving should be a painless and enjoyable experience, which is why we've put together some helpful tips on how to prevent and soothe the after-shave itch. By following these simple steps, you can say goodbye to razor burn and hello to smooth, radiant skin.


  1. Exfoliate regularly - One of the main causes of after-shave itch is ingrown hairs, which can be prevented by regular exfoliation. Use a gentle exfoliating scrub or brush to remove dead skin cells and unclog pores, and prevent those pesky ingrown hairs from forming.

  2. Use a sharp, clean razor - A dull or dirty razor can cause irritation and inflammation, leading to after-shave itch. Always use a sharp, clean razor to get the closest, smoothest shave possible, and reduce the risk of irritation and itchiness.

  3. Apply a soothing after-shave oil or balm - After you shave, your skin needs some extra TLC to help it heal and recover. Apply a natural after-shave oil or balm to soothe and moisturize your skin, and reduce inflammation and redness.

  4. Avoid tight clothing - Tight clothing can rub against your freshly shaved skin and cause irritation and itchiness. Wear loose, comfortable clothing after you shave, and avoid anything that might rub against your skin.

  5. Use natural, gentle shaving products - Chemical-laden shaving products can irritate your skin and cause after-shave itch. Look for natural, gentle products that are free from harsh chemicals and artificial fragrances, and designed to soothe and protect your skin.

By following these simple tips, you can prevent and soothe after-shave itch, and keep your skin looking and feeling smooth and healthy. And don't forget, Bronte Body has a range of natural, handmade shaving products that are gentle on your skin and designed to prevent irritation and itchiness. So why not give them a try and see the difference for yourself?
