Do you use a shaving lotion? do you seen ingrown hairs? maybe you need to moisturize after shaving.

I had this a few years ago. I thought that there was something on my razor I was so itchy after. I threw it out and tried a new one but same thing. It was just really dry skin. I started shaving with conditioner until it got better. You can also use coconut oil and try that.

I don't think it is ingrown hairs, I used to get this when I first started shaving. Once the skin is damaged it doesn't take much to irritate it again, I would accept that you will have to wear pants for a week to let your legs recover and then the next time you shave use either emollient or coconut oil during and after shaving and shave in the direction of hair growth until you know it won't happen again. Urgh, I remember how itchy this was, never thought I'd have lovely smooth legs!

I get this a lot, it's not ingrown hairs, it's skin irritation in my case. There are a few things that make it better, like using a 5 blade razor so I don't have to go over the area more than once, using shaving gel (or even hair conditioner, just something to make the razor glide) and then I follow up with a medicated lotion called Sarna, it's available over the counter, in the pharmacy section.

When it's really bad, as it is now, I use a depilatory lotion, though.
