They are killing me!! If I want to wear shorts I have to shave my legs at least every other day, which would not be a big deal if they did not break out so bad!! My upper leg from the bikini area to about half way down break out so bad the day after shaving. I use a good razor (Mach 3) and a good shaving cream for sensitive skin, but nothing seems to help. Last night it was so painful I could hardly stand it. I have even tried an electric razor, as well as NAIR and they still break out!! Does anyone else have this problem?
Can't say I do, but I feel really bad for you! Obviously you must be sensitive to the cream. Is it because of ingrown hair possibly?
I use cetaphil liquid soap. Not the same area, but it helped for me.
Something else I did which stopped that was to ride the back of the razor when I shaved. I'd focus on shaving with that part (the lube strip, the white thingy, whatever its called) instead of running the blades across my face. Between the soap and that, I got a smooth shave and no breaking out.

I have a simlar problem. I either end up shaving once every 2 to 3 days which I don't like or using the Nair honey wax stuff. The honey-wax works really well but it is so expensive.
