Shaving/cream gel for sensitive skin

Hey everyone :)

I have really, really sensitive skin on my legs and armpits seemingly and all my regular shaving products are causing lots and lots of irritation. I've used the general veet/gilette gels for sensitive skin and lush's stuff and both are really bad for me... so has anyone got any experience or knows of anything that might be good for me?

Thanks!

    I just use shampoo or shower gel for shaving, works just as well. It might be easier to find a sensitive skin version of one of those that's better for your skin :)

    I use hair conditioner for shaving when I run out of other stuff but it seems to reduce irritation a lot, otherwise I just use shower gel

    Cocoa butter is good - very hydrating too!

    You also could try some hydration lotions with aloe or camomile. They are perfect for sensitive skin.
