Gents,
Just wanted to share this.
For years I have suffered for very sensitive skin. Specially around my neck area. Shaving has always been a bitch for me. Redness and overall itchy sensation all around it.
I have been using all types of expensive lotions and cremes to prevent redness and rash.
I have used:
NIVEA sensitive post shave balm (Shit)
BAXTER of California after shave (Shit)
Kiehl’s bump relief (Little bit better)
L’Occitane premium balm (This actually is the one that works for me but for U$34)
Long story short, yesterday I visited a new barber during a short stay in Santiago, Chile. Cool dude, knows everything about shaving and after a clean nice freshly shave he rubbed this freaking stone (Piedra de Alumbre) around my face. Burned like a bitch for about 3 minutes and then BOOM! no rash, no redness and felt so fucking fresh.
This little precious cost about U$9 and they last a life time!

The harder you practice, the luckier you get.
