This cream is for sensitive skin but any time I use it I get a burning sensation. Have any of you experience this with TOBS shaving cream? I had a similar reaction to Tabac but I have used it and no longer have that with Tabac. I am just going to keep using TOBS and see if it goes away like Tabac.

I have never had an issue with any of the ToBS. It’s good stuff. I hope it clears up.

I hope so too. It does not have a strong scent so that is not the issue. Tabac has a strong scent but I can still use it. I do not know why but I hope I can use it. It preforms really good and it is very slick.

I have this one as well as the lemon lime. It is pleasent and not harsh at all.

Interesting. I need more answers. Maybe it is just me.

Could be one ingredient you are allergic to.

I agree with ordinaryshaver that it may be an ingredient that you are having a reaction to. I did have a soap that caused major irritation and decided that it was not worth the trouble and pif'd it.

Alright update for everyone who may be interested. For me this saving cream is less is more. My SOTD showed me what I may have been doing wrong which was using to much of the soap and not enough water. To me it is best to go with little amount of the cream and a lot of water and work it into the beard. No burning sensation from the cream this time. Going to try it again tomorrow.

What I do with a cream, is instead of loading the brush, I'll just get a bit, the size of maybe a pea, and dab it in multiple places on my face.
Cheeks, chin, and a couple of them on my neck.
Then start off with as dry of a brush as possible, adding water as I go. You can add more water, but it's hard to take water away.
