Why is it I can't use shave cream without bleeding everywhere?!?

Question

I'm 21, and have been shaving since I was 13 and have never been able to successfully use shave cream. All those shaving commercials on tv always frown up the using the "razor and soap" routine when shaving your legs. Well, I have to because I can never use shaving cream without continuous bleeding for like, an hour! I literally have to wrap my legs in a towel to clot the blood. I've tried every kind of razor out there, I don't use the same razor more than twice, I've tried every kind of shave cream out there, but no matter what cream I use, I get terrible razor burn and bleed everywhere!! I thought I was pushing too hard, so I tried that, didn't push hard enough, still nothing! But when I shave with just a razor and water, I'm perfectly fine! Why is this? I've tried everything! What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

If a razor and water works for you, don't sweat it.
Just apply moisturizer about 5 minutes later so it soaks in well, but doesn't irritate.

Answer 2

I'm the same way. I've probably only used shaving cream a handful of times because for whatever reason shaving cream does not help me at all. I end up missing spots too when I use it, so I gave up. I can't even remember the last time I used shaving cream. I just use soap.

Answer 3

Have the same prob...use a sharp razor-not disposable..mens work the best for me. I use a thick hair conditioner...it doesnt have to be expensive....

Answer 4
