Living in Oceanside has its perks — the surf, the sun, and the laid-back lifestyle. But if you have sensitive skin, the combination of saltwater, sun exposure, and humidity can turn your morning shave into a nightmare.
At Oceanside Hair Salon, we see it all the time: razor burn, ingrown hairs, and redness caused by using cheap razors on sun-kissed skin. The solution isn't just better shaving cream; it's upgrading your tool.
We've tested the market to bring you the top 5 electric shavers for sensitive skin recommended by our local barbers for 2025.
