Brief Answer:
Wet shaving with Aqua touch shaver will be helpful.

Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir,

I understand your concern.

I have gone through your uploaded images as well.

You possibly seem to have mixed allergic and hypersensitive skin rash to any one of the shaving cream ingredients or frequent abrasions.

I advise you to reduce the frequency of the shaving(2 times a week).

Instead of 3 blade system,I recommend philips aqua touch close cut shaver.

Apply shaving cream while shaving and Axe after shave gel post shaving.

Apply antiseptic lotions like savlon for face wash and moisturizers.

All these steps will minimize such allergic episodes.

Post your further queries if any,

Thank you.
