I like the bit of minty burn and it doesn’t feel greasy afterwords like the non-alcohol based ones I’ve tried.

    And yet, I have no signs of skin irritation from shaving, nor do I get the same reaction to sweat when I do a heavy exfoliating routine with a loofa or pumice.

    Both shaving stones and alcohol are astringents. Both will strip oils out of your skin. Both prevent the burning sensation from the salt in sweat.

      if your skin is burning from sweat, you absolutely do have signs of irritation. You can choose to believe whatever you want to believe, it’s your skin, idgaf.
