Maybe Moisturising is more my problem. I always thought you needed to let your legs air out after shaving so I never moisturised straight away. I will give that ago and see if that helps.

Ladylove, I heard about using conditioner but I use an expensive conditioner so there is no way I will be using that. If I can find a cheap fragrence free one I might give that a try too. Thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks everyone for your replies. It all makes sense really once I think about it.
