    Maybe just try putting the cream on your face and DON'T shave. If you don't have any symptoms it's not the soap. If that's the case try to shave with just water again. If you have a problem your allergic to either that metal or multiple metals. Go back to allergist and get tested for just metals. I am not a doc FYI it's just what I would do

    It is a long shot but have you been tested for allergies to specific metals? My wife had to have the pins used to repair her fractured ankle removed because she had an allergic reaction to them. You might be sensitive enough that merely using a certain metal to shave with is causing your reaction. A specialist doctor should be able to check that out.

    I agree w Bob. Again I would try the cream you are currently using but don't shave. Try to isolate the prob.

    Just had a quick check and found this Nickel allergy: Symptoms - MayoClinic.com . Do the symptoms sound familiar?

    Thanks guys! Great Advise! I have spent alot of money and alot of time... depressed and stressed! I mean there are days I look good and then there are days you wouldn't even recognize me. Thank you all. I am going to try my best to solve this. It is causing so much inflammation in my body Dr's are saying it could be lupus but I have no symptoms of lupus.

    I will echo that you should try the allergist again and talk specifically about a metal allergy.

    Till then make sure to keep Benadryl on hand as allergies can get worst suddenly.

    As to getting a stainless steel blade I don't think that will help as the blades you are already using are stainless steel.

    If you are looking for a switch up a carbon steel blade may be your better route.
