The best for my skin

My sensitive skin reacts to many common cosmetic ingredients, including fragrance, with contact dermatitis (exzema). After months of getting exzema from the common drug store brands of shave gel, I have been using this shave gel for about two years now, on my arms, underarms, and bikini area. The product dispenses nicely, and works up to a lather. The shaving (with a Venus blade) is easy leaves my free of bumps and nicks. (Except for bikini area - but that's the hardest place for me to shave.) Best of all, I have no skin irritation from it. It has a mildly sweet naturally-occuring fragrance that I like much better than the heavy, artificial fragrances of other shave gels. This can be about twice as expensive as brands such as Gillette, but obviously it's a necessity for me. I have stocked up when I have found it on sale, and its shelf life has been very long. I give it 8 stars, not 10, because of the higher cost.
