Why Shaving Cumulative Exposure And Skin Response Causes Irritation
Shaving irritation is caused by cumulative exposure of the skin to repeated blade contact during the shave. Each pass adds to total exposure through friction, contact, and disruption of the outer layer. Irritation appears when this cumulative exposure exceeds what the skin can tolerate, even if no single pass feels problematic. This may sound abstract at first, but it closely matches what most shavers experience during a shave.
