If you shave using a blade and use some kind of [product] along with it, then I'd go on a bit of a spree getting alternative products. No speaking from experience - I'm a guy who just uses the electric razor to trim the beard and clear-cut downstairs every now and then - but coconut oil might work as a shaving lubricant and it's good for the skin too.
I've noticed that it really started once I began using manual razors. The first few shaves were with an e-razor, which didn't result in any blemishes, so maybe I should consider investing in a good e-razor specifically for body shaving...
Angry red blemishes? Have you considered any diseases of the skin like ringworm or eczema? Red blemishes are often a sign of disease or a rash from allergies. Especially if it keeps returning.
Well, it only started once I began shaving with a manual razor. There were no blemishes before, so I'm thinking it's caused by like in-grown and agitation from the razors, and that my skin is just super sensitive now that it's hairless . . .
