Hi there. I have similar reactions to some shaving creams. Like nivea or florena.. I don't know why but it is giving me slight burning sensations. And if I let the stuff 30 mins or so, then it will sting quite a bit.
But I found out that Speick is superb, and I can keep it on all the time. I have no reactions to it. I tried the cream and soap stick. I love the soap stick! It's great that you can shave patiently with it. That is very important for a beginners, as I am.
Hope this helped.
The old Florena burned me like fire. Such a bummer since I LOVED the smell.
